Update on Project Orange Thumb/Fiskar Grant

Hi -

I just wanted to let everyone know what the status is with the grant application.

We have finished writing Questions 2-5 and have the most recent version of the Garden Plan&Design, as well as a color painting representing the greenspace. Eric has filled out the application form.

The two high school students who are working on Question 1, Noah and Evan, have completed the video. They did an excellent job and Eric and I were really impressed with the quality of the video that they created. They are planning on burning the DVD today and Eric will be picking it up today.

We'll get the material together tonight and it will be ready to be shipped tomorrow morning.

I'd like to thank all the people who helped with encouraging us to apply to the grant, brain-storming, writing, re-writing, re-organizing and just overall helping the Garden Club successfully complete their first (but definitely not last) grant application. Thanks to Shirley Schultze, Perry Howland and Penny Higgins for all their writing and revision work. Mary Jane Haugh did an amazing job with Garden Plan and Design. Garden Club photos were donated by John and Linda Ferrante, Carol Hopkins, Shirley Shultze, and Kris and Ed Jorolemon. Mary Jane, Lorraine Mason and Jim Hoffman also graciously donated their time and agreed to be interviewed for the video. Additionally Scott Utley, Nathalie Fuller, and Carol Hopkins provided moral support and encouragement in the grant application process.

Happy Gardening!
