The last SSA meeting was held this past weekend in Portland, OR. I offered the agenda in the CCA thread that got locked down. The next SSA meeting will be in May in Seattle, and if your organization is interested in attending future events email me and I will get you on the distribution list.

Aunty, Parker, Irish, summerrun, and many other on the board, thanks for supporting the WSC
