<DIV>
<DIV>While I agree most info can be sought on line, we DO discuss important items: bids for offices, events, acquiring volunteers for events, discussing different, and possible new, activities to have at said events, demos and all that is needed for those..... Being at MOOT gives the populace a chance to ask questions about all those items, and talk with those that have held offices, or run events. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We also discuss information from the round tables and any changes to Kingdom laws, or news the officers bring from the higher officers at Round table.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It is a chance to speak face to face, ask questions, input new ideas and discuss items important to the populace, either as a whole or as individuals.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>MOOT should be considered an important event to attend, if not regularly, then at least as often as one can. (real life DOES intervene sometimes. :)<SPAN class=yiv1245826961Apple-style-span> ). We are very lucky to have a great venue to hold these meetings in.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1245826961Apple-style-span><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>Just my humble opinion,</DIV>
