[CSPS] CS Response

[Hugh]

Dear Friends,

I just sent a link to a post on the Brazos Blogs. The school Board members
were copied on that email.  I strongly encourage you to provide comments to
this post to the blog. The Board members are likely to read this.  Brazos
Blogs is a network of blogs that focus on community in the Brazos Valley.
This was recently launched with no fanfare in order to get some information
out on development issues. After the first of the year it will be more
widely publicized but for now it is getting read by many, including at least
some City Council members and hopefully School Board members.  I welcome any
of you to become a regular blogger and I encourage all of you to include
comments on at least this one discussion.  If you are interested in being a
contributing blogger, please let me know and I will add you. Thanks - Hugh
Stearns
