It was suggested that LRAPA pay these expenses in the future.

Dave Brewer said that we should not restrict mailings - informing the
community is an important part of our work.

Of which, we have collected $3900. One $500 outstanding pledge is from
Tim. We agreed that it has been fulfilled by the mailing costs.

[Joel, now that I remember my past experience in contacting Susan, she does
not do very well at returning calls. Can you try calling her again?]
