<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>
