Absolutely! Plus, when possible, the faster we get the reactions from the
various actors (us, in fact!!!), the better, to keep the momentum! So when
an idea pops up, quick comments are welcomed.

For the sponsors, we can set up a small team and coordinate the efforts.
Plus, I believe we're going to need a Pledgie Campaign again this year.
Let's put that together.

How does that sound?

Cheers!

Louis
