Guide book updates - We have a 'proof' from the lady who is making the updates to our Holywater book, so the book review committee can meet to finalize.

Merger - Jim Zyla has met with Tom Quail to inform him that our chapter is exploring a possible merger with another TU chapter. Jim will approach the Paul Young chapter first.
