    The Importance of Networking-  Sharing information using the internet is important to the viability and growth of any organization.  Learn how to identify and use the tools at your finger tips to interact with other members.  No need to wait for a physical meeting!

    Planning for the year ahead-  It's time to take a look at how we are using our resouces, and introduce new ideas for what we want to do next.
