[Nfbf-l] Newsline changes

[Marion & Martin]

Sabrina,
    There have been a couple of explanations floated as to why the numbers 
were eliminated. Can you give us the real reason? Was it a matter of funding 
or is it service discontinuation on the part of the provider? If it is 
funding, what can we do about this? If it is because of the service 
provider, are we looking for new providers?

Marion
