[Flex] FW: notice regarding proposals submitted through grantsgov

[Olga Carr]

Hi All,

 

By way of reminder, below is an email I sent out about a week ago. Since
sending it I have gotten 2 rejections for the very reason sited in my
email to you - invalid file names for the attachments. Please keep the
requirement in mind when saving/attaching your attachments for
grants.gov submissions. The proposals will be rejected!
