[Leica] LUG Book 2015 - I need your support

[Sonny Carter]

Thank you for stepping up.  (There's a typo next to your email that adds Hoppy to the job! )

I like Second Harvest; I worked for the Second Harvest of Greater New Orleans for several years and I know the work they do.  

You mention the house prices there; when I watch the DIY shows that focus on that area, I'm appalled.  A two million dollar house there could be had in Natchitoches for $150,000 and it would be in a nicer neighborhood.

Good luck, looking forward to a great volume.
