[Jayhawk-chapter] Prompt action requested

[Sidney Roedel]

Rob,

I vote YES for us to contribute $200 from our treasury to support five
students and a driver in attending the student leadership conderence in
Denver in March.  I regret tht I was not at the meeting to vote.  (I am
puzzled by the amount of support already obtained for the event.  "...eight
 $400...?"  Could you clarify that please?)

Best regards.  Sidney
