Board Notes Introduction

Chebucto Community Net operates almost entirely on the volunteer work of a large variety of interested individuals.

The individual work load varies with time available and complexity of the task volunteered for. However, I think it is safe to say that those who have accepted nomination and election to the office of Member of the Board, top the list of dedicated people who keep this group alive and strong. (I am not one of them.)

Next month I expect to have an update on the many projects and problems that have been dealt with by the Board since last spring's Board Notes.

For now, let's all just take a moment to read who these people are and appreciate their efforts, along with the efforts of all non-Board volunteers.
