A busy and good week ends and another one begins.

I met with with my technical partner, Emmet Woods, last week to finalize the startup costs. I made one change this morning to total cost after fencing bids returned over the weekend. I will cover this at a high-level at the board meeting in conjunction with the budget scenarios.

This morning, a query went out about using the Observatory zone for the landscape, conflicts with class and current use. I will update results at the BM.

We can, in fact, use existing irrigation, which will cut costs.

 I did an interview with Orcas Issues on Friday. They are very excited to hear about our program. I expect the article out this week.

I constantly receive positive community feedback about the program, and many want to somehow be involved. This is good news, obviously.

I'll be looking at fund raising using Amazon-Smile program for 501c3s. It could provide a decent flow of cash to go back into the program.

The idea of doing a summer permaculture program has met with positive feedback. Of course summer is high season for gardening and a great teaching time. If not 2018, then the following summer could see it happen.
