>> Mr. Harcz, the Board approved MPAS 2013 Audit had been added to the MPAS
>> accessible Web site on January 22, 2014. It is in a PDF format, but as I
>> understand it, your reader is not able to read the pdf document. To
>> assist you, we are converting the documents to "word" so that your
>> reader is able to access them. The MPAS 990 is also in process of being
>> converted to both pdf and word and will be available shortly on the
>> website.
>>
>> Per your request, I have also asked my Assistant to forward:
>> -a copy of my 2007 letter to Janet Olszewski re: the proper community
>> options for the residents of the former Mt. Pleasant Regional Center.
>> -the Board approved Minutes from the September, 2013 Board Meeting.
