[pianotech] Website update

[Ryan Sowers]

Hello Mr. Secretary/Treasurer,

In the interest of transparency, how much did it cost to send the four
members to the symposium? I imagine since Barb and Kathy are on salary,
their work time would also be considered an expense.  In fact it would be
really interesting to know exactly how much PTG has invested in the new
system since its inception? Would you be willing to share that information
with us?

Just wondering,

Ryan Sowers
