[Seattle-editorial] Re: [IMC-Seattle] Fwd: [Imc-finance] PROPOSAL: Money for Computers-to-Bolivia Project

[sheri at speakeasy.org]

sorry for the confusion folks.

this proposal has NOTHING to do with the seattle imc giving anyone money, it's a proposal to the global finance list (imc-finance).  as a local imc, we merely get to weigh in our support for the project and the use of funds.  

no money is coming from us :))
we don't have any money (really)

peace
sheri
