This will be a brainstorming session as CTL moves to a model that is evolving significantly. I would welcome your ideas and input. Please join us in the CC Coffee shop on Wednesday, June 14th at 1:30. This will not be the only opportunity for input, but I would like to get ideas this summer. Please invite anyone else you think would be interested.

Thanks.
