Hi, Chatters: I am working on the NATIVE AMERICAN chat now and should have it up in an hour or so; the rest of last night's chats are already up--so be sure and look them over. http://huntsville.about.com/blrecords.htm Make sure your stop by and vote for the featured state NEXT week: the choices are Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Georgia. SC & MO are only ONE vote apart--so make your choice known! If you don't care for any of these five states, please hit REPLY to the poll and tell us what state(s) you ARE interested in......so we can see what is wanted out there. Remember, I will be making a decision Monday or Tuesday on this next Thursday's Featured state. http://forums.about.com/ab-huntsville/messages?lgnF=y&msg=317.1 Invite your friends to join us this weekend--especially is you're on NORTHERN STATES list--I'm not on very many and don't seem to get the word out.
