This brings up an interesting conversation I was having with some friends of
mine just the other day...
How many Laurel's are currently active in the A&S community?  By active I
mean go to at least an average of one event a month, are available at least
a few times a year to judge/teach, and stay involved in current topics
either through sitting circle, the Laurel's list, retreat, etc.?
I could ask the same question of the Knight's and the Pelicans...
Are there more Peers than populous?
More teachers than students?
Just a little food for thought...
