1) General Interest

Weekly Bulletin Changeover
 The new email list is just not working as planned.  Too many people are being blocked from getting the confirmation email so we will continue using the current software until we can change over safely.  We will not complete the move unless we can be sure that everyone who wants to stay on the list will be able to.

I am so sorry for all of the confusion.  Many have tried very hard to make the change, and, through no fault of their own, they were unable to.  We're not going to leave you high and dry.  We'll let you know what we're going to do after we've had a chance to assess the situation.
