Dear Loraine, Lowell and Curling,

We are in receipt of your communication of 24 June 2015. First, let me reassure you that the

AFICS/NY Governing Board has not refused to hold an extraordinary meeting and regret that

this appears to be your impression. We already shared with you the critical practical

constraints and the existence of possible legal issues with respect to the logistics and timing of

any extraordinary meeting in July, and this has not changed.

Many members of our Governing Board are currently either abroad or out of town and the

weekend is soon upon us, making it extremely difficult for me to consult on a sufficiently wide

basis to reply on the substance of your letter. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Sincerely,

[signed]Linda Saputelli

President
