All, Here is the final (I hope) draft. Jeff, thanks for your superb edits. When I send this, I'll pdf it b/c the letterhead can get messed up if it's transmitted in Word. One note: I've left the recent appointments (Judy, Kristin) off of the Board members list b/c announcement hasn't been made to the general membership yet. Okay?

I did have a few concerns but I thought this was a nice response. I appreciate you doing this. My suggested edits mainly have to do with striking a balance between being sensitive and responsive to their concerns while not going on the record with any suggestion or even a hint they are entitled to benefits or opportunities beyond what any other member receives. Generally I think generally the note balances this well — there are just a couple of spots where I would put things in more general terms. If we are in fact a D.C. corporation (I can’t remember), you may want to look at this regarding member rights to inspect records: http://dccode.org/simple/Title-29/Chapter-4/Subchapter-XIII/ Thanks!
