[Cash-and-caring] Welcome and Washington Seminar

[Ramona Walhof]

Jeanny, thank you.  Now I know you at least received the message.  We were 
looking for a Washington Seminar fundraiser.  If somebody comes up with a 
better one, that's great.  So far, this is what I have thought of, and it 
doesn't conflict with anything!
