Dear LA Council members:<br>
<br>
I am attaching the agenda for November 3 (including the Zoom link) and a<br>
red-lined version of the Bylaws (approved by the Exec. Committee). I<br>
will send Zoom invites individually (rather than sending it to the<br>
mailing list) so that you will have the option to accept/decline and add<br>
it to your calendar. I hope most of us will be able to make it.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu<br>
<br>
