Maybe we could also line up venues a little further ahead of time; maybe 
for all six months if possible.  Getting presentations together in a JIT 
fashion isn't too bad, but venues are harder.  BDFSM still has to 
respond to cancellations, etc., but this will make it all much easier I 
think.

Probably we should have a better title for the resume.  I think BDFSM 
will look kinky on a resume.  "President" sounds a little too formal, 
"coordinator" way too generic.
