Thank you Ball
Aerospace & Technologies Corp.
As previously announced in the April Newsletter; while Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. notified the Chapter that they are not able to be a corporate sponsor this year, Ball (Through John Godzac) has made us a wonderful offer. Ball is willing to provide the NCMA Denver Chapter with a grant of up to $2,000 for our use in 2008 for a specific purpose. We need to determine what that purpose is so that I can notify John and see if he will approve it.
