3. Campaign Assistance
            a. Matching funds
Masada still needs to find CCC members to take on 4 campaigns.  Gray will assist Daryl Northrop.  Jeff will assist Bob Kinsey.  Masada will assist Claudia Ellquist.  Emphasize to those who didn't make the deadline why it is important to still submit questionnaire responses.

The Resource Subcommittee will prepare for a committee of the whole decision on funding.
