I received the following message from Tom Walsh. I don't know anymore but thought I'd pass it along:

Subject: Re: MASNA Donation
Dear Marty and Jim,
On behalf of the entire MASNA Board of Directors, we want to again thank you for your most generous donation. Unfortunately, we fell seriously short of our goal and so your donation will not be processed.
Thanks again for your support of MASNA. Please check www.masna.org for future developments.
Rumors of MASNA's demise were premature. MASNA's financial problems have been completely resolved.
MASNA's board of directors very greatly appreciates all those that stepped up with a willingness to donate funds and all those that voiced support.
With the finical issues resolved MASNA has returned to its core mission of furthering the hobby by helping with the formation of new marine clubs, promoting growth within existing clubs, educating hobbyists, and giving hobbyists a collective voice in legislative processes that may affect the hobby.
We look forward to hearing from you at the new MASNA forum here at reefs.org .
Sincerely,
Lee Morey
MASNA - Director of Membership and Public Relations
