Peggy’s Cabin in Winter

Winter weather has turned into the slippery sort. We think that we’re going to have some of the white, and then the rain comes back. But I did manage to snap a shot while we had some snow. Storyknife sure is peaceful every time of year, but there is something about the snow-laden spruce and the expanse of white.

Construction of the Peggy Cabin is complete, even if the fundraising isn’t.  We have currently raised $29,634.35 toward the $50,000 goal. That includes 79 separate donations. 

I had been hoping to wrap up the fundraising for Peggy’s Cabin by the end of the year, but it may have to continue into 2020. Do not worry; I am not daunted in the least. I know that we will raise the remaining $20,365.oo!

Many people donate to nonprofit organizations at the end of the fiscal year, and guess where we are! So, if you do have an opportunity to speak with anyone y0u know whose life has been touched by Peggy, please share with them the donation link (https://donate.keela.co/storyknife-writers-retreat/peggys-cabin). Also, when you see Storyknife promoting this campaign on Facebook, a little sharing and liking goes a long way!

I’m so grateful to all of the people who have been part of this portion of the project. I’m so grateful that we are able to honor Peggy this way. I’m so grateful that women writers will sit down in the Peggy Cabin at Storyknife, pull one of Peggy’s books off the bookshelf, and feel enveloped by the generosity and kindness that exemplifies her.
