 * We need to support the newer members better and more - so that they feel they can take on SOEEA. We need to gather our members and get them involved. maybe holding members only events where we show case some of the MANY things we can do would be useful.... We can geocash, solar oven make and cook, earth ball play, play games... lots of cool stuff.

 * Jo is doing a wonderful job.... I think she is gaining confidence and is a great leader (by example). I love that we have so many new and enthusiastic teachers involved... as in ex students.....
