[Nyagdu] our website

[Margo and Elmo]

yeah, why don't we list the officers and then a contact from the areas of 
the state or chapters.  We need to decide the contacts. For example, Lucy, 
would  you be Syracuse's contact person?  shelly could be for her area if 
she wants.  We need to decide contacts.

I'd like to get Mike Robinson started on the page this month but we can add 
or delete stuff and revise the page any time.
