Two special messages from Len Barker:

  --In an attempt to update my address book, I'll be sending all of you with email capacity an email this week-probably tomorrow-to test my accuracy and to update my list. If you do not receive a message, you can send me an email to that effect-or let me know next week. Thanks.

  --Many of you have received or will receive a long overdue letter thanking you for donating to the silent auction at our April benefit and providing you with the sale prices of any donated items for your financial records. Although the letter has gone out over my signature, I simply passed on the information given to me and am unable to answer any questions that you may have. Mars and Sanna Longden, the benefit co-chairs, are in Mexico for the month. And Jim Miller, who produced the actual letter, is in San Diego for the season. So--please save the questions until they return. Thanks again.
