[Iowa-dx] A vision for IAGP's future...

[Larry K. Orr]

Yes!  

This is an excellent time to make a solid plan for the future.  We've
had a fine campaign by Wendy and Rick, and rather than slip into
doldrums between elections, we can stay engaged and give the future our
serious thought.  We have the time now - let's put it to good use.

You've stated it very well, Daryl, and Rick's reply is very encouraging
and to the point.  

I'm wondering about outreach: how do we best get our message out to
Iowa?  Let's keep that in the mix of general ideas.  

I look forward to our cooperative efforts to develop the general themes,
and the real specifics of our plans.

Onwards (and that's not a rhetorical injunction)!  Larry
