Re: Try again

John

am glad I could bring a little humor into your day :). you mean you don't
have this valuable catalog? in working thru this problem-we are now about
to engage the "enemy"; a thus far non-responsive ADC(our stake YM President
who travels a lot for his work and is hard to get ahold of), combined with
charter organizations who think they supply the unit commissioner and stake
leaders who evidently have not used the commissioner program for so long
they also think they should come from the unt they serve.- I have found a
shortage of the "extra useful" models, do you have any over your way? am
waiting for our layers of bureacracy(sp) to filter the information I
pointed out in our guidebook, stating that this is not their domain. one
gentlemen was totally amazed when I showed him this information, "well, it
appears we have been doing things wrong.

We do have an LDS Brother from another ward who is a Scouter, wants to
serve as a u.c. and has been to training for the job, but there is a bottle
neck with the Bishop
