Dear llaren:
, 1t I
DJN
Please accept ry apologies for not respondlng more quickly to your
Jul,y zL+th nemo concerning the PEIA.adventising empalgn and th€ USPA contribution
thereto. I al-so have a remo frcm Don Bec-)c , cking for an accounting
of the fmds fron ]ast year. Hete ls hq thls Horks out, according to our
USPA HeadqEftem recoPds i
In I9?9 PEIA contnj.buted 5500 to USPA to support the advertisi.ng campaign
and USPA added an addltlona] $500. As fan u ou neconds can tell,
this money Has never expended by u for any reasonr and therefore tenains
rrin the bankrr. (Incldentally and totalty s€parately: USPA during I9?9
prccessed IL+6 requests for infomation 'rkitsrr, which requests came to u as
a result of Dan Poynterrs promotional efforts, with Hhich I an sure both you
and Don Beck are familian, H*ever, ue did neceive pa)ment covering tho cost
of the naterials and postage, for each and every one of these sets, so they
should not be considered ln an evaluation of Hhat USPA did for PEIA dwlng I9?9,)
' In 1980, apprcved by ou Board of Directore xas a further contrLbution of
9I,000 to PEIA| to cover you 1980 advertising cilpaLgn. Thia amowt Ehould b€
added to SIr000 Ieft over frcm 1979. HoHeven. Let ne nemlnd you that (based
on an agneement Hith PEIA bacl in 1978 or I9?9 - I forget which year), we prepared
and printed therroutlaw Brochuerrand distriluted lt to most PEIA menbers,
0u eEct cost for the printing of I0,000 of thes€ brochures was St{84.37.
I d not clear in my own nind 6 to Hhether the fqnds voted by the USPA
Bcrd of Dir€ctons were to i,nclude the cost of thistroutlaH Brcchurerror
Hhether the Board intended that the $1,000 be e rrfree and clearrr contributlon
to PEIA. I would appneciate your guidance and directlon in this regard,
As I see it, USPA oes you eithen:
A, $I,000.00 nereining from 1979, plw SI,000.00; on
B. 9I,000.00 remaining fron 1979, plus SI,000,00 1980 contrlbutl.on nlnu
Sq8q.3? for outlaH bnochues aLleady supplied to PEIA membere.
Please advlse me.
