   The forces of the NMJHS need a few good men...and women, and we need them now! We need you to answer the call and put your (volunteer) self on the line. We need your ideas for future programs. But more than that, we need your involvement. We need you to commit to planning, preparing and presenting a program. You may do so individually, or you can join forces. You can find a partner right here at ìAsk Harvey.î
      This column will appear each month and will act as a clearing house for your suggestions.
     Should you choose to accept this mission, simply e-mail or call me. Be assured your suggestions will be taken up, and I will also direct you to members with similar interests.
     At the Annual Meeting members suggested many new ideas for programs for the coming year. A hearty thank you, a sheinem dank, gracias, go out to all who came forth.
