ideas in the proposal are just that – ideas – and can be adjusted based on input from the planning team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to serve on the planning team, all you need to do is join us at the brief meeting next Friday. If you can’t make it, but want to be on the planning team, just send an email to
