Community Development Grant Contestants: One More Week!

Dear Galiano Island,

Here's an update with only one week to go until the start of voting for the Grants Program.

We've got two entries, which means we'll actually have a vote!

Read more about them here: http://activegaliano.org/community-development-projects

We've also had four pledges to pay the $75 for 6 months of grant sponsorship. Much thanks go to Alison who's pledging twice, once for her Cakes business (yum!) and once for the Blackberry Patch B&B. Also... many thanks to the Galiano Coffee Roasting Company for submitting a pledge without even knowing that they've done so and to Martine for her Catering Outfit. ;-) That's $300 right there, and I suspect we'll get a bunch more just before the deadline. This'll be $75 well spent on advertising for your year 'round business.

SO... 7 more days for applicants for the Active Galiano Community Grant. After that you'll see a vote widget on the front page and anyone with a account can log in and vote and change island destiny with someone else's money.

I, for one, can't wait to see who wins.

cheers to all!

Christian
