Subject: Idaho BLM Records
Hi Elaine:
I have been putting the BLM records for many of the western states
on-line.
I contacted the ID folks and they want $$$ for their database. I figger
it will cost in excess of $800 to purchase the data.
I am willing to throw in about $20 (only have a minor interest in ID)
and will send out a "pass the hat" message to see if we can generate
enough donors so we can purchase the data.
Are you willing to poll the folks on your ID mailing lists and see if
there is enough interest?? I am not asking anyone to send money -- just
pledges at this point. I may be able to route the money through a
non-profit group so they can write it off their income taxes.
Ask folks to send a private e-mail to me with their pledge and indicate
if it has to be a tax-deduction.
