I agree. Granted, I go to visit my family in Johnston County but that's only 2-3 times a year, job permitting. -----Original Message----- From: Diane Keiser [mailto:geno@blazenet.net] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2000 7:35 AM To: NCJOHNST-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCJOHNST] RE: NCJOHNST-D Digest V00 #155 People from afar can help thru e-mails, phone calls and mail, but the actual committee would probably be better if it were people actually living in Johnston Co or near the area. I'm sure it would be easier for these people to check out things down there, then for those of us who would like to help, but can't get there to check things out. If the planning committee were Johnston Co based, then the rest of us could help in other ways that the committee would feel that we could best serve them.

I'm a techie and haven't had much experience planning large events. Can someone out there tell me if they've seriously considered meeting either virtually or face-to-face to plan various committees, etc. for this event? > > M.
