It's "Brag Board Night!" Bring a board (or two)
that shows a project that you are working on - a sort of
"show and tell" to get to know our members better
and promote what it is that you do. Everyone will have 2-5
minutes to give us the low down on your project. If you
don't want to "show and tell," just bring a listening
ear. Hope to see you all there!

Meeting
Minutes (Word Document)
The
primary focus of the meeting was review of the CNU Orlando
mission statement and the project idea list. A
draft is attached (Word Document). Several great project
ideas were discussed. Either one or two projects need
to be chosen to focus on, or committees need to be formed
to address each project. Please review the project list
and email me back if you are interested in getting involved
in one of the projects. Indicate which project you are
most interested in.
