That's ok with me. I will inform Daphne, in case she doesn't already know, that finalizing the order will take a bit more time. See you later this month.

Am going to meet him in Middleton following the quarterly meeting on Saturday. Its about a 30 minute drive from Littleton, and about a 1 mile hike on a trail to the tree. I've attached some pictures of the tree taken last year (early July). Who is interested/able to come? Brian Clark 42B Clark Rd.

Deadline is May 8, I leave on a trip May 6. **SPECIFIC PUMP INFORMATION FOR BUDGET IS NEEDED** In order to complete the application, I need more information about pumps; SKLT/MG may use a battery-powered one but they are still planning their irrigation system. Both pumps will add pressure to water coming from a tank; probably we can't get the tanks high enough to pressurize the water through the hoses, just by gravity. Both are 2-line orchards, I can probably get a bit more length information if needed. Here is the info from Kendra & Daphne on the grant application. #1 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ How to apply for this funding: 1) Prepare a proposal for submission by May 8th, 2009. Include a brief narrative outlining use and need of the funds along with a detailed budget for the proposal on a separate sheet. The budget should only include funds spent between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Include the names and contact information for: Administrative Contact (who should be contacted regarding proposal award), Principal Investigator (the main contact for coordinating the project in the field), Financial Contact (Chapter Treasurer), Authorized Official for Chapter (typically the Treasurer or President, as people authorized to sign on behalf of the chapter). 2) Submit proposals no later than May 8, by e-mail, to President and CEO Bryan Burhans(bryan at acf.org), with copies to grant and accounting staff: Daphne Van Schaick (daphne at acf.org), and Dennis Kimball (dennis at acf.org). 3) TACF will review the proposals and notify chapters by May 31, 2009 (dependent on the timing of the award notice from the Forest Service being received by that date) whether or not they will receive funding. Funding depends on the number of proposals received and the final award amount and award conditions TACF receives from the Forest Service. 4) Because the money is Federal, recipients will receive from TACF, and will have to sign a subaward agreement sent to them by TACF, certifying that the funds will be spent according to Forest Service terms and conditions in order to receive reimbursement of costs per their proposal. A sample of this agreement is attached for review only. TACF will fill this out for chapters when funded, consisting of 1) Subaward Agreement, 2) Attachment 1 - Certifications, 3) Attachment 2 - the award to TACF from USFS, 4) Attachment 3 - TACF and Collaborator contacts 4) Attachment 4, reporting requirements 5) Attachment 4 - Proposal being funded. TACF will prepare the Subaward Agreement and Attachments and send to the chapter for signature to finalize the award. If you have any questions, please contact me by e-mail or at 802-447-0110 ext. 6.
