Association.

1 shell account - no charge,

This group is a local non-profit
working with farmers and their
community in Siauliai (sooshay),
Lithuania. A set of web pages
already exists and these will be moved
from their current location,
updated, and eventually translated into
Lithuanian.

County

Mentally Ill

WebTeam help if
needed
Leslie Carroll will probably ask if DCN
is willing to set up
HyperNews for this group. If we are not
this project will most likely use
WebBoard and join with the Arroyo group
for a workshop.
"NAMI Yolo County" is assuming
responsibilities previously shouldered
by the Yolo County Mental Health
Association. The group is an official
chapter of the parent organization
which is national in scope (NAMI)
and is 100% volunteer with about 120
local members.
Funding is a serious problem for this
struggling group but they say
they persevere against the
odds.
4. Next meeting - September 5, 2001 -
will only be held if there are proposals to consider.
Adjournment: 7:45pm
