I originally wasn't going to remain on the board for this reason since I've had schedule conflicts.  However, I would like to try to ensure that there is a functioning board, so I submitted my name to insure there was a vote.  I remember showing up for at least one meeting at the end of the year with no quorum or agenda.  In that case there was no meeting and no roll call.
Anyways, I do intend to try to make at least one meeting per month.

Thanks,
Micah
