Hello LaMissTenn

I have seen that many of you have been checking the blog lately, so I feel I should apologize for not posting in a while. Finals and board meetings will do that to you I guess. Listed below are the goals we came up with this weekend as a board, so please take a moment to look them over and leave us some comments. Becca posted pretty much everything else, I will be posting minutes and a listing of all cabinet members as soon as we reach the ones we are still trying to reach. Check back later this week for that information. In the meantime, The Sky's the Limit and it starts with these goals!
