I just added some info to our EarthDay wiki page to track the donations for this. See: http://buyorganic.org/live?EarthDay Here is a quick update from Sonya, who I just invited to join our friends list... ----- Forwarded message from Sonya Hem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 11:25:28 -0700 From: Sonya Hem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Environmental Leadership To: Jeb Bateman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Fwd: [Announce] [Buying-Club] Earth Day Hi Jeb. We still have space available for you. I will tell our logistics committee that you are working on funds. Our last steering committee meeting to approve new applications is next Tuesday, so if we receive payment by then you will probably be ok to get in, but the sooner the better. -- Sonya Hem Executive Director Environmental Leadership phone: 323-3433 fax: 323-3766 Jeb Bateman wrote: > Hello Sonya, > > I tried to copy you on the message below to our mailing list, (but > accidentally misspelled your email address).
