What I would suggest would be to go to the ednf website and go to

the ALL Types CD project. You can read a lot there, or you can

contact Lynn and ask her.

Anyone still wishing to do this might get this to her ASAP.....latest word is

that as soon as the new phone system is ready at the EDNF and she has the

phone # to list on the CD, they'll be wrapping this up and getting it sent out!
