https://nmstatelibrary.org/services-for-nm-libraries/funding-libraries/go-bonds/2020-gobs</a> , with the Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 forms, along with the NOO forms. I intend to ‘tweak’ the forms a bit to make them even more understandable (an ongoing quest).
I know many of you are ready to go w/those NOO forms ASAP!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
