Hi Melissa,
I will set up the conference room and email everyone with the
information. Melissa, the Conversation Station is set up so that there
must be a moderator for each room, who will have access to the
features which control the room. Since you're the President, I will
give you the host (or moderator) code off-list, unless you have a code
you'd like me to set up, in which case please send me that code
off-list.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan
