[Green] DuPont Grant Change

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

Mike,

    This is a bit of  surprise. I thought that our project, as described was approved through the proposal-review process. In any case it looks like we need to regroup.

     I can meet this Sunday (Sept 6) if others are available. I can also set up a Zoom meeting. If you have a Zoom Pro account, it might be better if you send the invitation (to Green Sanctuary Committee).
