in progress and if you notice changes that need to be made, please contact me.
- If you are receiving RIPPLES by e-mail and would prefer to receive them by
snail-mail, please let me know.
- Now that committees are meeting, make-up credit can be given if committee
chairs will report attendance to me by e-mail or bringing a list to the next meeting.
- If you find anything regarding you that needs to be corrected in the new Directory (i.e., employer, position, e-mail, spouse's name, etc.), please contact me or DAVE LANDGREBE. We are now working with one database instead of two, making it easier to keep updated and accurate records. Information that was correct in last year's directory was in Chris Funk's database and not necessarily in the one we are currently using. We can update as we go so that next year's directory will be correct.
