I.    Review Committee status

As of March 25, 2008, Green Efforts is a standing committee. If you are signing up for committees, sign up. An e-mail has been sent to President Green since this is one of the conditions for The President's Climate Commitment. Robert has requested that the document be signed for Earth Day.

NOTE: Robert will be having LED lights installed in his office (he and David flipped a coin for who would get them for the pilot).  Thanks, Al!
