Hey guys,I wrote the lawyer for the DeVleig Foundation, and I've forwarded his response here. I guess 'the check is in the mail' was a little bit too optimistic of an assessment. It wasn't really my understanding that this would have to await a board's approval, and it wasn't Gypsy's understanding, either. I know we've waited a long time for this, but I guess we have to wait a little longer. I already have prepared the information to send to Curtis (description of the project, status, etc.), so I'll take care of that this week.
Patiently yours, Credence

The grant request was relayed to me by Board member Gypsy O'Neill. It is approved in principle, but will be subject to official, full board approval, at our annual meeting, which is less than 3 weeks away. I expect Gypsy to speak favorably about the request but if you have anything (in writing) you could share with me as to the grant request (describe the project, status, funding from others, community involvement, etc) it would help the board evaluate and approve the grant. Given Gypsy's recent move, perhaps it is best to send such info on direct to me as Board secretary so it can be included in the meeting materials. Curt Curtis J.

Subject: Re: San Juan Biofuels Association Greetings Michael and Curtis, I am writing on behalf of the San Jaun Biofuels Association to inquire about the status of our grant. I understand that things may take time to process, but it has been three weeks since we have heard any news. If there is a problem or a delay, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help move things along. The membership would be most appreciative of an update letting us know where things stand.
