Have been building databases and budgets for the last couple of days. I have samples of the grants out for proofing, ideas, preliminary oks to submit. And this week is for submission. The first must go out tomorrow for printing, 2 for the Feb 1, another for a couple of weeks after.
It is time to move to the grassroots fundraising and organizing a capital campaign. The press release will have a lot of information, an address for the plea for money from the GPCF, a Skunk River Sunday in California, and then an auction gala in March back in Grinnell. At this point a Skunk River Skip Day may just have to happen in early May. Everybody needs a break.
I've got the quote for the move of the bridge in hand. We still need money for the move, as well as money to fund the Scope of Work. By the time the restoration process is ready, any money that we have gathered can be utilized for matching grants. Then we have to move it back. It is a lot to ask of locals, perseverance does further.
