- -	We are looking forward to your review and the efforts of your
- -	organization.  Depending on our earnings in the upcoming months,
- -	we plan to support your efforts.

- -Get the picture?  How can this group be impartial if it accepts

-    I think Ken has a very GOOD point here, (Even though I could use a extra
-   $1,000 here and there :-).  So whats the answer?   A group of total self

-   I may be on to something here.....

Incorporate as a non-profit org, appoint a treasurer, preferrably a
