[Namron] March 2011 Officer Meeting Notes

[ksullivan6 at cox.net]

just out of curiosity, how many of the officers meeting in the last year 
have been in Norman and how many of them have been in Moore or north . 
And how many of them have been in a public place and how many have been 
in someones house?
Alix

Work hard,keep the ceremonies,live peaceably, and unite your hearts.
