APPROVAL OF MINUTES
1. OFFICE PLANT CLINIC REPORT:
Very positive and upbeat assessment of the plant clinics in 2007. General consensus is that having a limited number of volunteers is best.

October 13: Low turnout. Relative disappointment. Suggested that one (1) day is enough for MG participation. Generally agreed that October 20 may not be worth the effort.
