Wow! This is really great, Jay. I know there are some education projects
that are waiting for funding, and this will help get the job done. Where
can we send thank you letters to Maureen Corcoran and her brothers? Plus
you have some really good people on the education committee. This is doing
a lot to raise NANFA's prestige as a get-results organization.
