She then went over the monthly meetings for the Representative Senate. They included the following:

Rahdert asked the steering committee members to contact either Paul LaFollette or him very soon to indicate what kinds of issues this committee should consider;
- The February meeting will have Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Tony Wagner, and possibly President Ann Weaver Hart as guests;
- The March meeting will focus on a theme, yet to be named;
