True as this may be, I have noticed considerable improvements in 
communicastions since our new présidente has taken office.  Finally 
dealing with financial statements was a big step forward.  In that 
context the lacunae in communications are understandable, and do not 
require the apology that has been so importunately demanded.

put into the fundraising committee. ;-)
