We currently have a hole in Technical Presentation.  IMO, expanding the 
"future directions" to fill the time is not a good idea.  I would like to 
see this hole filled.  Let's figure out what we can put together to present

IMO, the list of items proposed is insufficiently focused.  I am afraid 
that a discussion along the lines of the seven items listed is a setup for 
failure: too much to do by too few people and unclear responsibility.  I 
think we need to identify WHO will volunteer and we want to take ownership 
long before we organize specific tasks.  The WHAT of targets can wait until 
the survey results are fleshed out.

The agenda I proposed for future directions was snipped from Wes's own 
words.  As a task list to accomplish, I felt it was on-point and 
doable.  Stephen, Marilyn, anyone: can you offer an improved replacement 
agenda for future discussion and lead it:

         new volunteers
        get the snacks going again
        invite speakers
        help coordinate the whole group in general

Regards, Dennis
