Re: Co-op vision - some ideas

Pete and all,

Thank you for the complimentary remarks.  I'm afraid we'll need a little 
more notice to get things on our calendar. We might be able to squeeze it 
in, but we're likely nowhere near Camas this Saturday.

I appreciate Jeff's understanding of the finer points I was making, 
especially from an established producer.  I think we're roughly on the same 
page - no doubt there are various issues to really work out.

One thing I want everyone to keep in mind - no matter what we propose (and 
the proposal I've outlined is quite ambitious) still requires what Brian 
mentioned at the meeting a couple of weeks ago: management.  We need to 
figure out how to operate an organization with a reasonably full-time 
manager (especially if it involves the several moving parts I was imagining).

If we don't make it this Saturday, please keep us in the loop.  Regarding 
last weekend's meeting - did anyone take notes?
