Adjourn to Workshops

All trail maintainers meet with their respective overseers.  Because of the importance of this meeting, we ask that all section maintainers plan to meet with their District Overseers at this time.

Anyone who is not a section maintainer or who would like to know how to become a member of a MATC committee should meet at this time with the President and committee chairs or with the District Overseer.
