September, 2017 – Oops we missed a month – that’s how busy we’ve been in August and, in fact, all summer. We have happy news – two new Board Directors! Teri O’Glee and Bitsy Henderson have moved from a professional status with the project to seats on our board. That’s dedication, folks, and we are thrilled to have them.
We have also launched a professional Strategic Plan for the org, which is quite a process. This will help us in myriad ways, and is needed for the very large donations and high-level grants that we are aiming for over the next year. We have a number of exciting situations pending that we hope will lead to substantial funding before the end of the year.
Also, our design team has been hard at work over the summer, finishing up the landscape schematic work. This will put us in position to submit the first of several long-planned applications for grant funding via the City’s NPP – Neighborhood Partnering Program. At the same time, our project architects are working on the final Design Development, which will lead to construction drawings by the end of the year or early spring.
A special thank you to Cynthia Petrick and Joe Petrick for your awesome volunteer work keeping the Norwood “lawn” mowed & trimmed over the summer – you’re the best!
