<p class="MsoNormal">Also attached you will find a merger proposal that defines a plan for MVECA to effectively take over the operations of the Miami Valley Communications Council (MVCC) located in Centerville. In an effort to avoid having to call a special
meeting of the MVECA Assembly in May or June, we would like to provide this plan to you for your review now and will have a recommended motion for your consideration at April meeting. You will also have an opportunity to participate in a discussion on the
merger plan on the 17<sup>th</sup>. If needed, you may contact me directly with questions now and are welcome to reach out to MVECA Board members to ask them about the merger plan as well. Here are a few notes on the plan:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
