I apologize to anyone who saw the first post on this but missed the second. I was asked not to do collections by envelope but rather a bucket was set up at the meeting for people to give their contributions.
We collected $357. The appearance fee for the court reporter was $275 so that is covered. If we would like a copy of the transcript it would be an additional $575. Since we only have $82 left from last night's collection, we would need an additional $493 to purchase a copy of the transcript. At this point we are not going to do that. If anyone feels that we should purchase the transcript at this time, please advise. Thank you to all those who contributed by your presence last night and financially.
