As I’ve mentioned previously, my plan is to hold a board meeting once a quarter, and August brings us to our next quarter since our last meeting in May. I know this is right before the holiday weekend, so if a majority of the board would prefer to hold the meeting on Wednesday, August 30, let me know, otherwise I’ll press on with plans to meet the last Thursday of this month. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I will send dialing instructions and a full agenda this coming weekend. If a majority of the board prefers, we can meet face to face here at my new building, The Meridian at Eisenhower, which has a very lovely business center.
