| 1404.1 | Who might I ask and which treks? | DECWET::BINGHAM | John | Tue Jan 09 1990 18:04 | 2 |
| Are you willing to say which trek's and who the rumored organization
is?

| 1404.2 | trans-america | BANZAI::FISHER | Pat Pending | Wed Jan 10 1990 07:36 | 7 |
| The trek is at least the trans-america trek though most of the states
use the same accounting firm. I don't know which it is but I might be
able to find an old mailer if I looked.
I would guess that this ought to hit the news sometime.

| I received a letter from the ALA stating that the reason for the
problem was that the company that organizes the treks (something or
other associates, which is based in Seattle) was having financial
difficulties and that it was going to affect the treks.
I hope that the rumours are not true, though. You heard it here last.

| 1404.4 | Tim Kneeland and Associates | DECWET::BINGHAM | John | Thu Jan 11 1990 16:59 | 3 |
| The organization I am familiar with who does (did) the TransAmerica,
Pacific Coast and some shorter ones was Tim Kneeland and Associates
in Seattle. I was wondering if it was the organization.

| 1404.5 | Directly from the Washington ALA | DECWET::BINGHAM | John | Fri Jan 12 1990 16:32 | 30 |
| From the National American Lung Associaton:
1) National ALA cancelled TransAmerica Trek and Pacific Coast Trek for
1990.
2) All money collected by riders had been turned over to National
American Lung Association. When a ride is done, the donations
are placed in a special account that goes directly to the ALA.
There is no way the ALA could not get the money collect.
3) In dispute is the Tim Kneeland and Associates billing for expenses
of running the rides.
4) Tim Kneeland and Associates is going out of business.
5) The Tri-Island Trek (Puget Sound, Washington state) will continue
to be done. The Washington ALA has hired Hilary Howarth (previously
of Tim Kneeland & Associates) to run the fundraiser. She is a full
time employee of the WALA.
6) The local ALA does not necessarily support the National decision
to cancel the rides.
7) There is a potential for the TRANS America & Pacific Coast to be
done sometime in the future.
8) As the for cancelled 1990 rides, there is a special team of people
contacting all the riders and volunteers. The option is for the
contributors to donate the $ anyways or have it returned.
