<DIV>Hi All, The party's over - I'm back!!
Sounds like a good assortment of stuff shaping up for this Forum and
a chance to talk with others. Let me know if you want to
attend all or part. It would be good to share some of the work that
is happening with the Application and Selection stuff as that is always a
challenging issue for all housing groups it seems - is there a
YRHASC member willing to do a summary of where you are at for the
Forum? I will do an overview of the YRHC progress
and issues. Thanks, Mark</DIV>
