The "Waterbury Skates" committee had a meeting on April 7th: In attendance was--John Wolfe, Brad Moskowitz, Belle McDougall, Peter Ferrell and Richard Bowen. We also had 3 skate ambassadors with us to share their ideas... Asa Mosk, Eli Mosk and Jesse McD.
Our total fundraising to date is: $4415-this exceeds our April 15th goal!
Interestingly-this represents 14 gifts from local families and 5 gifts from donors outside of the Waterbury area. So... we have only tapped the surface of our potential Waterbury donor base. Let's keep working on these families to support our project. We've sent out letters to 55 Waterbury families so far.
The meeting focused on our building materials list. John Wolfe will be putting the materials list out to bid to Sticks and Stuff, Hannon Home Supply and Richmond Building Supply. We are looking for donations and discounts. We hope to have an acceptable bid by May 15-30th.
Our start date will be the weekend of June 3-4-5th. Richard Bowen is available as of the first week of June to begin precutting the lumber.
Our Community Build/paint day: will be June 11th and 18th weather depending.
Our "Waterbury Skates" Yard Sale at the Murphy Barn: will be June 4-5th. Look for more details on our Facebook Page and in the Waterbury Record.
T-shirts: Our first run of t-shirts sold out! We will be re-ordering! Buy one!
Let's keep on rolling!!!!
