[Iswg3906.organizers] Request for support and a meeting soon?

[Peter Hopperton]

Hi team,

I received this funding request from a land defender in Elsipogtog. I wrote back asking for a bit more information about their relationship to other groups and such out there, and I said we might have some more questions after reviewing itas a group.

On that note though, want to meet soon? I think one important thing we have to do is to make a few good donations by the end of the summer.

Hope y'all are enjoying the hot days,

-p
