Cindy
Thank you for the information. Could you give me the phone numbers for the
conference call. This may be repeat information, but I will capture it for
further use.

I think the conference calls are a positive and useful tool. Thanks for
every ones efforts.
Chris

Hi Chris,

This Sunday is the monthly board call. At this year's spring seminar, we
decided that a board conference call each month would be a great way for the
board and membership to keep in touch. So although it is a board call, we
welcome and hope that members call in. Tomorrow's call does not have to do
explicitly with fundraising, but it will probably be a topic of conversation
tomorrow night given the recent emails on this list.

Cindy
