<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings to all from Stephen Macthomas, Seneschal
of Gate's Edge:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to remind everyone that our populace
meeting is this Monday at Northwoods Presbyterian Church off FM 1960 at Terrace
Oaks, starting at <STRONG>7:15 pm</STRONG> (not 7:30). Everyone is invited
to come out and have a good time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, this meeting is the deadline for agenda items
for the first of what I hope will become annual planning meetings to discuss the
future of Gate's Edge, one year at a time. It's kind of like a planning
retreat, where we'll talk about the things that we want to see the canton
accomplish over the next calendar year or so, and that tend to be too big to
discuss in an open forum in one populace meeting. (Thus the call for
agenda items in advance.) This year's meeting will be on the 29th.
More information on the meeting time and place will follow separately, once the
agenda's made firm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to ask that if you have an item you wish
to discuss at this meeting, please contact me PRIVATELY at <A
href="mailto:macthomas@ev1.net">macthomas@ev1.net</A> to add it to the
agenda. Also keep in mind that my memory is not perfect, so I also ask
that if you've requested something previously, PLEASE follow it up with an
e-mail or a phone call (my number's 281-651-0781, before 9 pm please) so that I
can make sure it goes on the agenda.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My lady and I will be attending Steppes 12th Night
this weekend but will be back in town either Sunday afternoon or early
evening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In service to Gate's Edge and her
populace,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Stephen, Seneschal</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
