[Eg-oversight-board] FW: URGENT - due Friday 1/17 re: request: Conservancy needs your Project's highlights & photos from FY2012

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

Please note that Conservancy is asking for information regarding
events that occurred in their previous fiscal year 2012, so we'll need
to go back a bit further in time.

Nobody responded to my call in December for suggestions, but I'll get
a Google Doc started and circulate it  I do not, however, view this as
anything more than a courtesy to Conservancy -- what we get, we get,
and I'll tidy up and submit to them on Friday morning.

Regards,

Galen
