Folks,

We now have +1 support for Dave McIlhagga, Michael Gerlek, Paul Warriner and
I'll throw in my +1.   So four votes in support, and no objections.

I'm sure this is a terrible violation of Roberts Rules of Order but I'd like
to resurrect the motion I previously declared defeated, and now declare it
passed.  If anyone *does* have an objection, please try to voice it before
the board meeting Friday at which I will represent this proposal as having
the support of the fundraising committee.

Best regards,
