The
ACO will be incorporated in the State of New Mexico. The attorney is
preparing the articles of incorporation and will submit them to the New
Mexico Secretary of State with all deliberate speed.
The ACO is seeking a permanent volunteer newsletter editor. If anyone would like to volunteer please post on the message board. The discussion e-mail list has been eliminated. They annoy people. Instead we have installed a message board. There is an area of the message board designed for the dissemination of information on the ACO which is available to the general public. The remainder of the board is for members only and is not visible to the general public. The ACO Message board is open and operating now.
