Re: NFC: Campus grounds suggestion (fwd)

Great idea - something I'm sure that the NFC would be willing to help 
out with.  Thanks for keeping the NFC in mind, Sajjad.

PS: we also have money for projects such as this in the NFC budget - let 
the college know that would might be able to help financially if someone 
wants to submit a grant proposal for review.
