CSI E-Mail and Blog Information – A Message from Renae:

            I am not putting too much guidance on here. My sense is because it is new we will adjust as we go. We will find what works and what does not. I would like us to put up a summary every time we do committee meetings, have something interesting to share, and have a question/idea.
