This e-mail addresses two immediate issues:
        1. our website which has been down for the past day; and
        2. a typographical error in an e-mail address in last week's "Families Come Forth" message that may have caused         problems when you tried to respond.

Website:

        If you tried to access our website in the past day you may not have been able to. Please be patient. The problem has been corrected but I am told it will be back up gradually throughout the world within the next 48 hours. I am not sure if they give Texas first or last priority. They originally said 72 hours and one day has passed without it coming up at our office. I trust that they are not working from the other side of the globe first.

E-mail error

        In last week's message, "Families Come Forth" I encouraged families who wanted to be supportive in our June 2 hearing in Austin to let us know at TCFR. However, two letters in our e-mail address were transposed. The correct e-mail to contact us regarding that hearing is:

info@txcfr.org

        The hearing of Rep. Hupp's Interim Committee on Child Welfare and Foster Care is drawing closer. We continue to encourage your participation. Later I will be sending information regarding a petition that you can sign and continue to encourage you to be at the hearing if possible.

Location: Austin State Capitol
Date: June 2, 2004
Time: 10:00AM
Room: E1.010 (in the underground extension)

        I will be sending another e-mail with further details on the hearing and the petition.

        I apologize regarding the problems with the website and my typographical error regarding the e-mail.

Respectfully,
Peter JohnstonPresident
