Jack said this should be done right away to get the backing of the community so they are aware of the matching challenge goal and also that so they are aware of the October 1 deadline to reach that goal. John Cotton asked whether that deadline date could be extended. As of right now, that is the date set by Gloria Selander's son in his matching fund offer.
