4. Several committee members (and guests) wrote 10 word (or close) 
descriptions of what they think DCN is - and produced the following:
	a)  "DCN is a Bulletin Board for the City of Davis residents to 
describe their not-for-profit groups, send announcements to residents and 
provide a calendar of events."
	b) "DCN is an organization that uses Internet technology to benefit 
the Davis Community."
	c) "DCN provides the community a forum for communication and 
networking."
	d) "DCN is a way to link us in Davis with each other so that we can 
think and act together to make our town a better place to live. It is not 
shopping, parking, driving or television. Thus it is old-fashioned in a good 
sense."

The words will be shared with the DCN Board.

5.   Anne reported that applications from pre-approved groups (see last 
month's notes) are being received and the Calendar is quite well populated.
