I am coordinating fundraising now.  This is my window of opportunity.  Currently I am coordinating a conference call with the fundraising committee. Perhaps prior to that call a conference call should be made with the entire energy committee and the EXCOM.  Karen as the vice chair of the Energy coommittee will you please coordinate a conference call of the energy committee.  A meeting in July is also in order.  As I recall I owe Jim K. a chicken dinnner.

THE BIG EXCEPTION TO "LITTLE TO DO RIGHT NOW" IS TO LOCATE AND HIRE AN EXPERT FOR PATH.  I WOULD LIKE TO CALL JIM BUFORD, CPV'S GUY, AND ASK WHAT HE'D CHARGE, OR WHO HE'D RECOMMEND.

Duane did decline.  Perhaps a committee meeting is in order to plot future startegies.  I talked briefly with Bill dePaulo aout where to go from here re TrAIL.  He is interested in rsuing some appeals and I think they have merit, but little further action is needed until the PSC issues a decision on August 2.  Perhaps a meeting in July is a good idea.  Does anyone want to propose a date.

Barbara and I are concerned that there is still no energy chair.  Jim K. was going to ask Duane and I think he said no.  Barbara wants more direction on where we are going with TrAIL and PATH to help her in grant writing.  She says that Bill has asked her to also do fundraising for the membership committee, but I'm not sure she has time to be involved with that also.  I was hoping that Bill could be energy chair if he is not involved in us paying him, but Barbara says it would not look good on grant applications for him to be the chair and attorney.

Also, I don't feel comfortable committing $10,000 to Blackwater Canyon at this time.  $5000 would be acceptable since Friends of Blackwater are contributing $5000.  Do you know how the vote is going on that motion? People do not always reply to all when voting, so I may have missed a vote.

Thanks,

Karen

P.S.  I was able to vote on the Democrat Primary since I was just asked if I wanted a Democrat or Republican ballot.  Were you able to vote Dem, Jim?
