Is it a USPO po box or UPS? tari_kelley: uspo box peggy4scrid: UPS store peggy4scrid: they forward mail to anyone we ask, but it's $5 plus postage for each one asleyvascrid: OK, which is it? mars4art: ohhhh peggy4scrid: but it avoids changing addresses every 2 years tari_kelley: no a literal post office box in the San Fernando or SCV area..that way most of us are out in both these valleys peggy4scrid: which is a disaster each time peggy4scrid: no. asleyvascrid: Right, I agree with Peggy peggy4scrid: that has been voted down every year it's suggested asleyvascrid: OK, we can move it to the SFV tari_kelley: thats a strong vote P, smile.. just an idea thrown out there.. peggy4scrid: the purpose is to keep the address the same for as long as possible lbalbirnie: It really needs to go to Denise peggy4scrid: ok - let's deal with this off line peggy4scrid: thanks, Marie casaccia@sbcglobal.net: Thanks Peggy mars4art: one postoffice box is a good idea in a uspo....... so the valley is better than inglewood.... peggy4scrid: wanted to make sure it ends up int he mintues peggy4scrid: I'm not in favor of moving the address again peggy4scrid: but let's work on it off line asleyvascrid: OK, we'll have an email conversation but we have it started here with thoughts and ideas asleyvascrid: OK, thanks Peggy mars4art: isnt the valley more accessible than inglewood? asleyvascrid: Other Qs for Secretrary? mtreacy1: Good idea--offline. tari_kelley: just one more comment for thought..... asleyvascrid: Yes, Tari. :) tari_kelley: if no one is able to get out that way, it seems better to move it, even though it is a changing of the address/po box......since we need consistency in someone being able to get out and retrieve it on a regular basis... peggy4scrid: that's the reason we set it up with a forwarding service tari_kelley: oh, well if we HAVE a forwarding service then that shud solve the prob. and have it forwarded and retrieved out SFV or SCV way... peggy4scrid: yes asleyvascrid: is there a cost to that? mtreacy1: We can talk about it more offline--I think we need to research the cost more, also. peggy4scrid: I'm ready to move on mars4art: lets move on then casaccia@sbcglobal.net: moving on.. asleyvascrid: OK, I will send out an email right now with teh subject of PO Box and can talk more there asleyvascrid: Other Qs for Secretary? casaccia@sbcglobal.net: None peggy4scrid: nope - thanks for indulging me mars4art: none itsgreenme: nope tari_kelley: no, thanks Marie mtreacy1: you're welcome. asleyvascrid: OK, Tresurer's report asleyvascrid: Denise isnt able to join us this AM asleyvascrid: but are there any Qs I can rely to her? peggy4scrid: I didn't get her report - was it sent out? mars4art: via email tari_kelley: no, I thought her report was complete...no q's from me casaccia@sbcglobal.net: I got her report.
