Grants Delivered

You know there is just something about hand delivery to the right person on the day the application is due. But it took every ounce of intent to get this application done correctly, and I'm glad that I took the time to go back over the guide just to make sure that I had done the math right. And, I had not. Had to go back and do it all over again, and I still don't know that I did it spot on. I found one date mistake and one extra period when I reread the entire thing, after delivery of course. I couldn't have found that one if I had tried before printing. The search for perfection goes on. Making sure that I have the PepsiRefresh grant ready to go so that can be sent in directly on June 1. Grinnell responds pretty well to online surveys and we all have a lot of circles of friends that I know will help. One never knows. You just have to show up, that is one of the lessons of the Grateful Dead. You can't have that kind of fun unless you show up.

Now the waiting game, for GMRC, for SHPO, for Music, Fun and Food....

I was just enlightened on the politics of YES. Here is what I learned, the County said yes, because why not. No one expected us to make this happen and yet here we are happening! and then the powers that be wanting to be in power start going, "oh, but wait"!. sorry, not waiting....you should have taken me seriously long before this.
