        As a followup to my post regarding our lodge not having received any
information on Boston Litigation (except for one request for moral support),
I am wondering if any other lodge has received or anyone recall having seen
any information on this matter. If anyone else other than Bart has seen the
info, please provide a feedback. Is it also possible that only NY Lodge was
provided info but not others. I am just wondering and puzzled.

        Reasearching minutes, IMHO, should be no problem since I believe the
BOD meets only twice a year (If I am wrong, will someone knowledgeable can
set the record straight). It is only a question of someone spending the
money and time to travel to Olcott and stay and do the research.

        I am wondering if we should start a fund raising for this purpose?
The funds contributed would be tax deductible as a charitable contribution
for a 501(c)(3) organization. If it is a contribution from a business, then
it could be a sponsorship and can be treated and deducted as such.  Just a
thought.
