Good example of a responsible state government on this issue: 'Y2K: Will You Be Ready?' community workshops scheduled A statewide series of "Y2K: Will You Be Ready?" community workshops begins April 20. The free workshops co-sponsored by the state of Washington, the Association of Washington Cities and local governments will help Washington communities and businesses prepare for technology issues related to the transition to the Year 2000. access.wa.gov

Cheryl - Ken - I recall you mentioning "martialing resources" and "volunteer corps" after that IT industry meeting with Koskinen a while back. Was wondering if this was it.
