<DIV>Good afternoon again,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for bearing with me. I'm learning this system along with you. Because I had everyone in digest mode the system scrubbed the attachment for everyone. You are now all undigested. What this means is every e-mail sent to this listserv will arrive as it's own e-mail instead of a group. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You may want to send the survey back to my individual e-mail, <A href="mailto:karen.park@state.or.us">karen.park@state.or.us</A>, instead of the osssa218-fire-all address. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For those of you who have already replied please resend as I was unable to retrieve the information.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you and my apologies. And if you have requested to be removed the group, please include your employer name and your e-mail address, as your e-mails are coming through anonymously and my crystal ball is broken.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have a great day and in a couple of hours I'm going to start my weekend and leave all of you alone! I heard those sighs of relief!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good afternoon,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I've mentioned to many of you I've been working with the IRS to provide a phone forum for IRS issues the fire industry is facing. We're making progress! We're looking at the week of November 17th.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I need to find out from all of you how many are interested and able to participate. This will be a phone forum. You will be sent materials on the issues to be discussed, possibly a Powerpoint presentation. We are planning this to be an hour, 40 min presentation with 20 min for Q & A. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please fill in the attached and return it to me either by e-mail or fax. We look forward to your feedback.</DIV>
