Team,

The GIFTA executive committee explored various goals during a brainstorming
retreat on this past weekend. One of the goals was to establish corporate
partnerships. This Intel iniatiave would fall under this category..

We will be releasing a summary report of our retreat next week some time. For
those interested working in the corporate partnerships progam please respond
this email and we can begin a course of action.

Thanks!

Tariq
