Kin, I agree with you on the meetings success, not only thanking all who stepped forward, but for also bravely carrying on through any technical presentation challenges. I believe there is a strong spark of interest that has ignited our passions for next month and beyond.
Kin, I would like to be a part of your synergistic group. As the meeting was progressing I was wondering how we could fit it all in. Another thought that came to mind was if any new comer was feeling in place too. We used to have a way to address this very well in the meeting, so all will be a total success if new comers and renewed comers keep showing up to our future meetings. That too, is a very exiting part of it all. Thanks again to all who came out!
