<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Folks –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>TACF staff are looking to update some of our “standard”
publications, like the membership brochure, and I was wondering – how “official”
is the RI inclusion in the MA chapter? Has there been any change to the
chapter’s by-laws or name to officially include RI within the MA
chapter? I ask because we do have 2 joint chapters, VT/NH and the
Carolinas, and if the MA chapter should be listed as MA/RI we would want to make
that change in our documents. I know functionally RI is a part of the MA chapter,
but wasn’t sure if that inclusion needs to be mentioned in the chapter
name or not. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
