			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve attended any of the meetings since April, you may have noticed that our multimedia coordinator, Russell Elledrige, recording the meeting. After he edits them, he posts them on Vimeo for all of our members (and non-members too) to enjoy. Well, we now have a central location on the website to be able to watch them without having to sift through all the posts on the front page.</p>
<p>The new location for the videos is:  <a title="Meeting Videos" href="http://www.bmet.org/meeting-videos">http://www.bmet.org/meeting-videos</a></p>
<p>I hope you enjoy this new addition.</p>
