Speakup tasks

[John G Heim]

Okash, I am still willing to put together a grant request for my local 
Lions Club to get them to buy you a tripletalk. I just need a current CV 
or resume from you. I can write the grant request myself because they 
won't care about the technical details. The grant request would have to
talk mostly about how important speakup is.

In fact, there are probably other Lions Club members on this list. If 
anyone wants me to send them the grant request so they can ask their 
club, just ask. We can handle the funds 2 ways. We could just send them 
through the International Association Of Visually Impaired 
Technologists.  Or we could coordinate one club buying a tripletalk, 
another buying a dectalk, etc.

What I intend to do is to ask the Lions Club for a donation to IAVIT for 
the purposes of buying a tripletalk. But if they seem to want to buy the 
synth itself, that will be fine.
