InC-Lib-Vendor

[Ann West <>]

All,

This is good news! Now to just compare the membership lists and start the 
letter.

FYI...I'm happy to do this but won't get to it until mid-November. If someone 
would like to start something earlier, that would be fine too. I'm happy to 
pick up/join in at the later date.

Best,
Ann
