to discuss about the project she supports and understand the working
of her chapter. Attreyee first talked in detail about the project she
supports "Sankurathri Foundation" in Andhra Pradesh. Details about

start sending out monthly newsletter to various groups.

4. Also discussed about how to track the action items. Arvind Rao to
restart sending out action items.
