Munson reported that the drivers agreement with Project
Concern is due to expire on 6-30-05. Two one-year
extensions are possible. We currently use only two full
time Project Concern drivers, down from fifteen in the
beginning. It is uncertain, after a couple of revisions by
Project Concern, who is operating the service at the cheaper
cost. Munson said he will check the figures again before
