Friends- Several people have contacted me and suggested I extend the expense deadlin= e to include monies from March, being the owls do not seem to be in any hurry to leave. This seems like a logical thing to do (are those groans of ecstasy I am hearing?), as it would extend our "window" to a full 6 months.
For all those who have so conscientiously sent expenses, thanks. If I coul= d make a suggestion to just hold your March info until the end of the month; it would perhaps be easier for all of us. Of course I am happy to accommodate any way you want to submit, as long as you keep those e-mails coming. We currently have over 190 responses totaling over $130,000. Fran and I ar= e working on some other angles to make our figures more accurate and meaningful. (The registry for the caf=E9 in Cotton contains about 300 names that we can cross reference to see % of respondents. All Minnesota guides will be contacted to solicit feedback and help- when things slow down for them). Thanks again, Randy Frederickson Fran Howard =20
