                          EXERCISE NINE
                     THE ORIENTATION PROCESS

An exercise similar to the recruiting process, this can be planned
by a single person but the more input into the process, the more
invested the members will be.  Designate a place for this planning
exercise on the agenda before folks are tired and ready to go home.
