[OHM] 2015 NEH ODH Implementation Grant update

[Jeff Meyer]

One other note!

The application package cover sheet
<https://drive.google.com/a/gwhat.org/?tab=mo#folders/0B87xcVwkvHhtUlRqZllJTnNaZW8>
(it's
an Adobe Reader form that requires the latest version of Reader...) is
possibly the most important document of all. If you take a peek, you can
get some insight into the importance of having an experienced, solid lead
agency to help!

Thanks, Jeff
