Since the CIS was formed initially I have since experienced the birth of
my 1st child as well as the recent death of my mother...these were both
too life experiences that are pretty tough to get accustomed to. Though
they have limited my commitment to CIS somewhat, I have stood by CIS and
still give my inputs as an educator in the system...a perfect example of
my commitment was that night were built the lab, those of you who were
there knew my 6 week old baby at that time was very sick with the cold,
but I was sstill present to show my commitment.

I believe that inorder for us to move forward with CIS we need to
physically meet at least once a month..Like the TTCS group,either a Pizza
lime or a tech meeting...we will surely know who is commited by making the
time to attend and also get a lot of discussing and dissions made.

All in favor say "I"

Rotary for those of you who don't know is a very large worldwide
charitable organisation...the last project that I worked together with
them with was the Iradication of Polio in the world and they got "Bill
Gates" to pledge, i'm not sure but i think 10 times waht ever they raise
for the charity...and thy raise a few million $US in a very small space of
time....such is the magnitude of the benifits we can acquire from
associating CIS with the rotary.

over and out for now
