Q&A

VII. Old business: Survey project update. U Ruedenberg has asked for questions
of affiliates individually and at NFCB-not much luck. Recommends discussion by
email, perhaps a subcommittee. C Johnson suggested questions about funding
sources; U Ruedenberg agrees discussion may want to inform us regarding huge
economic problems coming down the pike and how it will impact the Foundation
and affiliates. Need fundraising discussion soon-it will help refine our
questions for the Survey.

VIII. New business: T Allen requests LSB/PNB members make reports to the LSB's
about Affiliate Taskforce news. Please distribute Affiliate Reports.
