Re: Walkathon monies/convention

[Guest guest]

Hey Jodi -- Thanks for the support! No, the walkathon monies the

division communicated that we would use them for hiring the

researcher/writer for Dr. Harbison. And we can't use any of it for

other things due to legal restrictions. So far we have raised about

$21,000 but about 1/3 of the families haven't turned in their

donations yet. We might hit $35,000. A good starting point. I

need to find out if we can hire someone without having 100% of the

monies in hand....

I know of several families doing fundraisers again -- hopefully

scholarship monies will come in.
