It should not take away from our work meetings and because of my speaking up at the grant planning meeting, a few more community-leader types have a little better understanding of what AVCNet is trying to do. Also, IMHO, getting the grant is probably a very long shot at this point, but even if they get it, we would not be trying to do any more than we are currently attempting to offer the community, i.e., a website with Lewiston/Auburn links, non-profit web pages, and email discussion lists for community groups. In any event, I do not plan to personnally get diverted from the goal of AVCNet getting its act together. For the record, the group submitted a pre-proposal and now waits until December to see if HP invites them to develop a full blown one. -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Rick Speer rspeer@lplonline.org Lewiston Public Library http://www.lplonline.org 200 Lisbon Street Voice: (207) 784-0135, Ext.208 Lewiston, Maine 04240 Fax: (207) 784-3011 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
