Greetings

In the past year each of you has agreed to help organize and lead an eGY
effort in your region.    As you know we will be having the eGY General
Meeting in Boulder Colorado next week.   As part of the package of
materials we are preparing for meeting participants we would like to
include short, no more than a paragraph or so, summaries of eGY related
activities in your region.

We will pass these reports out to meeting participants, probably on a
CD, and make them generally available on the eGY web site after the
meeting.

Could we have your short report by the close of business on Friday March
9th so I can prepare meeting materials over the weekend.

I apologize for the short notice

Best Regards

Bill Peterson
eGY Secretary
