Thank you.

If you wish to respond to John's question, please do *NOT* clutter this
list with Yes or No replies, but rather, please simply go to
http://www.acteva.com/go/azipa and either pay or do not pay a voluntary fee.
If the entire amount of value that you have *ALREADY* received from your
participation in AZIPA has been less than $10, then please select the free
RSVP option until and unless that changes.
We plan on having at least the next couple of months at Club Rio still to
see if this experiment of "completely optional and voluntary fees" is
working enough so as to be able to once again become more proactive as a
group (because we have been crippled by a lack of funds as to what we can
do as a group to create even more value for you and the community).
Thanks!
Best,
-Ed
