To All in the FOT....
Any overage on the $350 ad cost will be put in the FoT Fund. It has been
somewhat depleted for some time.
Ted & Doris brought it up by a couple of figures recently with the Marty
Sukey FoT Shirt project. Our thanks to Ted and Doris...and Marty.
I suspect that it will be nice to have something back in the till by Spring.
