[IMCWMA Associates] WMA funding

[Announcement list for Inland Mendocino Cooperative Weed Management Area]

*Dear IMCWMA Associates- we received a small amount of funding this year 
from this source.
For continuing and enhanced funding for next year, it would be a great 
help if you could respond to this request.  Thanks- Tara
*/*
Forwarded from Doug Johnson:
We need letters now to secure full WMA funding. */
Last year we were successful in renewing partial funding to WMAs because 
over 100 organizations submitted support letters. This year, SB 311 
(Cogdill) seeks to increase WMA funding to the full $2.5 million 
(approved by the legislature last year, but reduced by the Governor to 
$1.5 million).  This funding will only happen if we can again show the 
breadth of support for WMAs. There's been a lot of turnover in the 
legislature, and key committees are run by new faces, so we need to 
reinforce the importance of this funding.

My e-mail delivery has been unreliable lately, so I am asking for
return receipts from all my email messages.
OK'ing the return receipt lets me know that my message was delivered.
Thank you.
