[Cabs] CABS Call Minutes

[melissa R. Green]

Thank you amy for your comments and praise for Arielle.
We noticed that you were absent on the call last night.
I also appreciate you volunteering to be apart of the communications committee.
So expect some assignments from me in the next few days, and these assignments
will have very stringent deadlines for the members to meet.

I am just implementing Scott's declaration that all members of NFBCO will be put
to work in this afilliate.
He expects the talkers to put up and walk the walk.  This is what cabs has in
mind as well.
Talk with you soon!


Best regards,
Sincerely,
Melissa R. Green

Cabs second-vice president and communications committee chair.
NFBCO board member and Cabs board representative.
Hold on to your dream and it shall be well with you.

hello arielle,

thanks for posting the minutes from the cabs call from last night to the list.
this is awesome communication and, i believe it's what cabs has always needed
and, you finally gave it a wonderful perspective on it.

these all sounds like awesome goals for cabs to work on for the upcoming year
and, i know that ccb and the denver chapter will also serve as a valuable
vehicle as well too!

thanks again, and i will talk to you soon!


hugs,
amy sabo
