Local events?
Possibly remind people that local events are a good thing. Have one event and then send it out and encourage others to do the same?
Boulder might be a good place to start since there is already a large polar contingent there.
3. Board elections in January
Alice will send out emails starting in early January. We need a new co-chair to replace Alice!
