You’ll recognize Storyknife builder Scott Bauer on the left, and that’s Jeff Middleton on the digger. They’re looking for water problems where we want to build and not finding any, yay!
These are baby steps, as we have yet to begin serious fund-raising, mostly because we haven’t received our 501(c)(3) certification from the IRS yet. As I’m sure you’ve noticed the IRS is currently in a bit of a kerfuffle and I fear it is slowing everything down.
But forward, anyway! I’m chipping away at the construction as I can afford it. The water and sewer engineering is going to cost about $6000, and I’m already into this for about $15,000+ (need to add that up at some point). Never let it be said I don’t put my money where my mouth is.
But seriously? This is really fun.

Go Dana! If anyone can pull this off, it is you. So happy to have witnessed your birth as a writer, and transformation into a philanthropist.
That means more than I can say, Kathleen, especially coming from you.
