<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello Jamie and fellow members of Mass
TACF</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Comments re BC3F3 distribution</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>First I believe TACF members should be offered
seeds first to plant before State or Federal lands/parks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Whatever, the grants received from the
States/Federal sources they pail before the contributions and hands on efforts
of long serving TACF membership.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Second, the recent Bark article asking for an
additional $300.00 to receive that for which the membership at large has
endeavored to achieve is misplaced fundraising. Asking for more than the cost of
shipping and handling starts us on a path which should be avoided. Shall we
only provide to the highest bidder?</FONT></DIV>
