[Communications] CCGA conference scholarships follow up

[Amy Olson]

If we need to work with a solid number and not a $ value, we could add 2 for Ken’s donation and offer 22 scholarships.

>>> Hello Amy! “mamiegray2012 at gmail.com <mailto:mamiegray2012 at gmail.com>” is OK as the contact info. BTW Amy, I must have misunderstood the final understanding on “scholarship tickets” (free tickets), which was no need for funding for tickets since they can be processed as free; leaving prepaid registration fees in the general CCGA budget, and requesting sponsors to cover expenses other than scholarships.  In other words, Sponsor X, in the past, has donated $250 for scholarships and $250 for T-Shirts, can now donate $500 for T-Shirts or whatever. Am I wrong? Mamie
