<P>there has been talk of a call tree since before I started, those usually work somewhat. but only after they are started.</P>
<P>A simple e-mail the morning of the meeting would be enough to inform people on the list. and it should be easy enough to guess with reletive accuracy as to weather condition by end of day. especailly given that the Senechal is a meteorologist. </P>
<P>communication concerning none weather/meeting place information and/or question I am out of ideas. obviously my attemps are not successful, so I must be doing it wrong.</P>
