Well, I am not sure that I mean "organized", but 
rather, "not disorganized".  Even though Kulua is 
not "organized", there had to be some sort of 
"not disorganized" in order to get Emmett here.  
Some of the things I would like to talk about 
(even here on the list) is what is our purpose, 
why do we exist.  Do we need to have a purpose, 
are we happy with the way things are (maybe we 
are, doing more stuff means more work/effort, 
etc.).  I am not sure if our membership is large 
enough, we need to work on building our numbers, 
(although we may have got the word out at LF2K 
somewhat, especially on Saturday)
