all-</SPAN></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=982501715-23032010>Hopefully
you are all having great discussions in your meetings about the issue of local
consolidation and shared services - and coming to a consensus on your positions.
I have attached a report form to be completed after your consensus meetings. The
completed report is to be returned to the state League office by June 1st.

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=982501715-23032010>Also, a
reminder that local Leagues should NOT publish the results of their consensus
meetings in their bulletins. Until the state League adopts a statewide position,
the results from the consensus should remain unpublished. If you have any
questions, please give me a call.</SPAN></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
