<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Courier>The Inland Empire state society has
asked for a loan of $1500 for the 1910 Fire annual meeting on May 20, 21, 22. We
discussed this at the leadership meeting. I need a vote if the Palouse/snake
river chapter agrees. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Courier></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Courier>While it is a "loan" we may not get it back
if the registration at the annual meeting does not have enough to pay us back.
The meeting will be an excellent review of the 1910 fires and the result 100
years later. I expect that registration and attendance will be good so the risk
is not great and Terra King reports that the funds are available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Courier>I recommend a Yes vote but I need some feed back.
Please reply to this E-mail with your vote.</FONT></DIV>
