consider were identifying someone to lead the Internet Committee and

The Vice-Chair reported that while there are volunteers to help with
the Wilkins School Networking Committee, he has not been able to find

established at islocated.com/wplug.  It was also noted that a mailing
list moderator had sent a warning to a listmember who had posted an

The Program Committee reported that it had contacted the Wilkins
School Community Center to indicate that WPLUG was no longer using
the upstairs classroom for meetings, and explaining the new (less
