Fw: Will you nominate someone?

["Linda Pall" <lpall@moscow.com>]

Dear Visionaries,

I found this an interesting invitation... I have several to suggest,
especially from outside of Boise! UVI is a very progressive and positive
group that is non-partisan and interested in the future of Idahoans.

All the best,
Linda
