<DIV>Dear Tom,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you suggesting lone affiliates meet once a month (as always) and then
have a district comprised of three to four affiliates, and have a representative
from, for example, to form districts statewide? That would streamline the
Board of Directors considerably. Affiliates would need to convene twice
monthly, once for their own meetings, and then again another time with a group
of affiliates.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I wonder is: What about those affiliates that are located in rural
areas? I do not know, but would it be possible for have, for example, four
rural affiliates meet once a month and have a district Board member? It
would be easy in a large city because we are blessed with public and
paratransportation, but what about the small communities?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, Kansas City has only two affiliates in its metro area.
Would the members from St. Joseph and Sedalia affiliates need to
become a part of Kansas City's district? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do I understand you correctly?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do not know the answer to this. </DIV>
