Folks,<BR>
<BR>
Well, it's Wednesday evening and by my count I got a +1 from Michael. I<BR>
got some questions from Gary, but no clear support for the motion. No<BR>
one else responded.<BR>
<BR>
I'm going to take this as the motion being *defeated* for lack of support<BR>
even though there were no objections. I don't feel a major program can<BR>
be recommended to the board without more support from within the committee<BR>
than this.<BR>
<BR>
At this point, I'm feeling quite ineffective in the role of Fundraising<BR>
chair, and I'd like to solicit volunteers to take the chair, though I'm<BR>
fine to stay as a member of the committee.<BR>
<BR>
Dave, you expressed an interest before, would you be willing to take the<BR>
reigns? I think we likely need to arrange a new meeting, but our old<BR>
meeting time is apparently in conflict with a recurring meeting of Gary's<BR>
so we should likely pick a new time slot.<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>
