2012 AFG Watering Hole

[BCCB]

Talked to friend who is scheduled for PR on 8/19-24 as of 2 days ago. Guessing it will still be on schedule.

So then how long before the grants get awarded?

So this year as usual I submitted both a FO and FV application. I just looked at my status page and it appears the submittial date for my FV appllication has changed to 8-13-12 while the FO still dates back to July. Could this be a sign? Thanks

More likely that the new FV date coincides with tech repair of application that originally caused naratives to disapear from veiw after submitting app. See the "vehicle grant narative missing?" thread on this forum for history and info about this glitch.

Well, interestingly none of the FV apps I did had the submission date change, so it means something...although with Peer Review just commencing today, I'm not sure what. It's not something through Tech just yet.

Guess we will just hope for the best. We could majorly use this award.....

We have had the same thing happen and each time it resulted in an award....check to see if your requested amount was reduced....not a slam dunk by any means but usually a good sign....

Steelman- You're application submission date changed on earlier apps that were awarded? First time I have heard of that. Sly- Not sure of what to think if others didn't change. With PR starting today I would think it is premature to consider this an indication of potential award. But who knows!! Good Luck either way.

As a matter of fact, Good Luck to all! This is the week that all of our hard work will be judged and hopefully rewarded. Although it will still take some time to learn of the results.

I would agree it is premature, especially considering it changed to a date over a week prior to PR starting!

Just checked my FV grant and the date changed on it too, but looked at a FV grant from another county department, that I'm sure will not get awarded due to lack of info in the narrative, and their date changed as well.... So I believe there is nothing to this.

[ktb9780]

Yep I seriously doubt that since they are just getting into the reviewing right now, that that date change would have any significance whatsoever on likelihood of award.

[medstudent13]

Any prediction for when DJs will go out?

[basinchief]

Or better yet, when will we see 1199A's?

[rands1]

According to the AFG website, awards are suppose to start in late September.

[Limeforever]

It being an election year, I would say that awards will start prior to the election, and the swing states will score big in the early rounds.........LOL

You think! ROFLMAO

Bartender you may need to be calling last call for a few of your long term bar stool occupants. I have a feeling a few of them will be bidding us adios next week!

[Willy53]

Bartender, another round sir.
