Scott,

Looking forward to seeing you on at the Wednesday meeting. I would like
to get truly involved with the SMC, and will do anything to help. I did
see a request for volunteers...and am willing to take on the partnership
director position. This is the one area I can help, given my my
background. If anything, let me know what else I can do to contribute.
