I am more in favor of anything goes, but I'll accept your view. Jackie requested that we come up w/ PD activities for the group, because there didn't seem to be any. I merely responded that I was going to be engaged in one in El Paso, and suggested it for this group. Several responded affirmatively, and I suggested focusing it on specific PD activities. I only made the suggestion because I thought that that is what Jackie wanted to see here. However, now that we do have a PD activity it was suggested that we take it somewhere else. I am sure that the suggestion was made with the best intention. But, did we want a PD activity or not? To me, what I proposed was a PD activity. If it wasn't, I don't know what one is. So, what is the status of the proposed schedule and activity, who is going to coordinate the somewhere else. who is going to sumarize it for aalpd? Does anyone want to do this? Shall we simply cancel the activity originally scheduled for aalpd? how do we go on from here? Any suggestions?
