know of your interest and welcome you to attend one of the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Lansing</st1:place></st1:City> chapter meetings. They meet on the third
Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Sparrow Professional building at <st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">1200 E. Michigan Ave.</st1:address></st1:Street>
Kim Mohnke is the president. I am president of the new <st1:City w:st="on">Jackson</st1:City>
chapter and would welcome you to attend anytime and take a look around <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City>. We also have a member
at large chapter that meets by phone on the second Monday of each month. If you
need more information on any of these call me at 517 775-7943. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> I used to live in <st1:City w:st="on">Lansing</st1:City>
and they have a good transportation system, probably the best in <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Michigan</st1:place></st1:State>. <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:City> has a good bus and
special transit if you live in the city. Not so good if you live in the county.
It is easy to get around both in Lansing and Jackson in the downtown areas and
areas close to town but not so good after you have reach out to far. I know Grnad
Rapids and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kalamazoo</st1:place></st1:City>
have good transit as well. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
