Note: at our dinner with Bonnie on January 16th, we should probably discuss if we want to have officers.  I don’t know what “jobs” we would need, but we will probably need a secretary, treasurer, and maybe a technology/web person.  And then if other members want to be in charge of organizing events, that could be their thing?  I don’t know, maybe some people will feel excluded if we do this.  Just something we might talk about.
