-0500</i><br>&gt;I have heard some discrepancies in what time the next WPA 
meeting <br>&gt;will be at. I have heard 6:00, 6:30 and 7:00. I had thought 
that we <br>&gt;were making them earlier than 7:00. Could someone please 
give some <br>&gt;insight as to what works best for everyone since we have a 
meeting 
<br>&gt;tomorrow(Monday).<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Thanks<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Mackenzie<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;-----------------------------<br>&gt;Mackenzie

those running for office that would like our support, we <br>&gt;&gt;will 
decide whether to do individualized efforts (coffees and pot 
<br>&gt;&gt;lucks to promote candidates) or a more broad based group effort
