Project Updates

Mr. Ackerson then said John Moyer had asked him to give the board a progress report on the website project.  He said Mr. Moyer was able to un-archive some good work done by a previous web committee and the template we want to use and build on has now been acquired.  Based on this progress, he said we expect an initial draft ready and available for comments next week.
