Upsilon has not undertaken a fund-raising project since the Mace project in 2002 is one project that has been identified as a “need” by the Lee Administration We are not looking for a “commitment” at this time, we just want to gauge interest in pursuing this project....to initiate and undertake fund raising and other philanthropic activities
