Mike, I'm so glad to hear your thoughts. They're basically begging us. They already have a draft of the flyer, and it says "presented by Manhattan Borough President's Disabilities Task Force and Pedestrian for Accessible and Safe Streets." The problem is that it's all so close at hand. Maybe we can just do a coffee service for about 150 people, but even still, can we come up with some fast moola. I'm willing to throw in something, but not to write the whole check.

Can we find out the minimum contribution to be involved. I am sure we have the right people to be on a panel and I am sure together we can dig up some funds.

They have said that they are anxious for PASS to be involved in the planning. I've been down at the borough Pres's office to talk with them a bit about planning. They would like someone to be part of a panel, any volunteers? They would also like us to be co-sponsors, which gets our name out there, but it also means they would like us to contribute toward the breakfast. They're expecting 200 people. I already told them there's no way we could pay for breakfast for 200 people. But it is a pretty good publicity opportunity for us and our issue. What's your pleasure? Should we agree to cosponsor? Please let me know what you think.
