[USMA:27748] RE: FPLA Forum

[Mighty Chimp]

John,   You had better check the rates more closely.  All the major currencies have been rising against the dollar.  The kingpin, the euro is not worth about 1.21 $US and is still rising.   See http://finance.yahoo.com/m3?u   The Canadian dollar has risen to and is now worth 0.77 $US.  Thus, a  35 $ donation would be about 45 $US.   Euric       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of john mercer Sent: Tuesday, 2003-12-02 11:53 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:27742] FPLA Forunm   Hello I would like to say something about the FPLA forum.  Was it a closed door meeting or open to the public.  If it were open to the public and some people attended the information from that forum would be public wouldn't it?  I don't want to sound like a whiner but I am on a limited income and can't afford the Usma membership, the reason for this is because living in Canada the 35 dollar membership would be close to 60 dollars Canadian. Also been blind I can't read Metric Today.  If we have to wait till the release of Metric Today with the report could it be posted on the Usma web site for public information.  The reason I say this is because metric only labelling is going to affect everybody.  When the report is released in M T i feel it would be in the publics best interest to be able to read it. john.              --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
