Thursdays Rock!

Perseverance Furthers. Spent a few minutes showing Larry Bryan the conceptual bid from Peterson. He says that another access is available on the west side, I've just never done that area, and won't be today with all of the rain we've had. Guess I'll call Mark today and get that information. We also discussed having a Chili Supper at State Street, as a pay event to keep fundraising going.

Justin has given me the name of an engineer out of Des Moines, Greg Gear, that Cork suggested might work with us. Be nice to get a local and to get some drawings done of our little neck of the woods and river, who might work with the Michigan experts. I'm calling. Answer only does buildings and structures. Ok, so Greg referred me to Snider & Associates out of Ankeny, who now own Shuck-Britson, where I started my calls a month ago. Brent Culp was out, but I left a message.

I emailed the County, asking about the progress of the process of getting the land to us so that we can do the work. They said two weeks last week, but a little nudge is ok.

Same thing for the GPCF, we need to know soonish, if we are working with them. Otherwise we need to do this ourselves. It is difficult to push the fundraising before that. Although local fundraising with the t-shirts and emroidered patch are well worth pursuing now.

Onward.
