survey monkey follow up

I think there was a great amount of interest in getting many things done. I also felt like this was a great group of very interested folks. I think we have some goals in mind that may require a more frequent gathering than quarterly ,but lets wait for that survey monkey email, and cast you opinion there perhaps. Overall glad to meet all of you. - adrianna

Fantastic notes! Unfortunately, I can't meet up on Mondays because of another commitment. But I will try to be a part of any events we organize.
