I wanted to reach and update you on items that need the Board's
immediate attention and to share a plan to resolve some of our other
outstanding questions by December 31, 2007.

I have gone over the proposal submitted by Leslie Kerman for the
administrative and bookkeeping services.  I intend to go ahead and work
with Leslie to draw up and execute a contract based on her proposal
tomorrow, unless I hear from anyone on the Board who has questions or
concerns.  

In addition, the press related works that Sarah Massey and Massey Media
were doing for the 527 in November needs to be finalized.  It is my
understanding that we do not want to extend the contract for December
and I plan to negotiate a settlement for the pre existing work. I intend
to go ahead to finalize the relationship with Massey and her
organization.  Unless I hear otherwise from anyone on the Board who has
questions or concerns, I plan to execute this within the next 24 hours.

We are working on scheduling a brief meeting or call with Board Members
by mid December to reach closure on any outstanding items for December
31 2007.  I will be sending you an agenda ahead of time for any input
you may have.

In the meantime I am meeting with Mary Pat and others to move forward on
fundraising plans and a proposed budget for the 527.

Thank you again for this opportunity and look forward to resolving these
outstanding issues with all of you.

Amy
