Hi Nancy,

May not be much, but if it helps don't bother with the honorarium.

We didn't come this way, volunteer our time for this to fail.

We have had a lot of challenges in the past... mostly technical and we 
have risen above them. This is a new challenge that has taken a 
financial dimension. We shall overcome this too.

Please take heart, remain strong and thank you for keeping this away 
from the participants. We are here to support you...

regards,
