[Nyabs] Our next Phone Conference

[Alexander Castillo]

Hi Justin, I would also suggest talking to Rob and perhaps organizing
a Buffalo/rockchester division for now. I have mentioned this before,
but there is another person  in your area that would like to get a
division together. She hasn't been around in a while, but I will
contact her later today and let her know that you have the same idea.

If you are able to, call in tomorrow. We would love your input during
our conference.

Alex
