That's not relevant to why we need an admin.  Nor has anyone suggested
hiring a fundraiser.

SPI is at this point a $500K organization.  It is downright
irresponsible of us not to have paid staff to handle the paperwork.
Sooner or later, we will miss some important piece of paperwork and get
disaccredited.
