20 In response to Corey - doesn't PR already fulfill the role of the
21 fundraisers? Last I heard, they were the ones that contacted companies
22 for funds, hardware, and other resources, contacted institutions for our

24 Perhaps we could add some manpower and direction (not sure if they need
25 it though). Perhaps Swift and Klieber would be more qualified to
