[Jacob-list] New Registry, etc.

[Linda]

I did receive the new JSBA guidebook.  It's really well done.  I got so caught up in reading it, I never even got back 
as far as the membership list. I'll be sending in my nominations this week.  For the rest of the JSBA membership - 
please send in some nominations.  The associations belong to the members - so get involved!  And don't forget to vote!
