Message From The Bridge

Apologies to all for the silence from the bridge. Both Mary Ann's and Craig' work loads have been off the charts. We had planned a Division meeting for March 6, but the meeting notice didn't get sent properly (Mary Ann: My fault, totally). During this period, however, the membership committee and some other staffing groups have met and begun work. We are also working to get the web site and calendar updated. Soon we will all be back up to speed.

At the January planning meeting, we decided to eliminate the 2nd Tuesday monthly meetings in favor of more interesting and useful quarterly "Division Day" meetings on Saturdays, and a schedule for them is included below. Because of our late start, the first two will be just six weeks apart, but after that they will be quarterly. These agenda for these events is:

0900-1100: Membership team and other staff meetings, and a brief board meeting if necessary
1100-1330: Fellowship over lunch, awards, and summary reports
1330-1530: Training. We are working to develop interesting and productive training topics.

All meetings will be held in the Shore Operations Building (Building 4) at Pier 36, with general meetings in the Rainier Room and breakouts in the Olympic and Cascade Rooms.

In addition, we will have periodic conference call bridge and staff meetings, on a schedule yet to be determined. We will send out the first invitation to one of those shortly. In the meantime, if anyone has concerns about any Division business topic, please let me or Craig know. The quarterly meetings will all be on Saturdays, on the schedule below. If things go as planned, we will have accomplished enough during those meetings that we will be able to hold just a brief evening planning meeting in December and be all set for 2011.
