mission accomplished

The final contribution was received today! I've put together the application/ request packet and will drop it in the Wednesday mail. For those of you with this check outstanding on your check register, it should clear within the next week or two... depending on how quickly the Katy Trail State Park folks process it from here. Thank you for your patience as we've been waiting for the last of the outstanding pledges.

As for next steps, I will call my KT contact tomorrow to let her know the checks are coming, and will talk with her about the timeline for placing the signs and installing the bench. The signage shouldn't be a big deal as that is just a nuts/bolts issue in terms of attaching the signs to existing mile markers after they have been lettered. The bench, however, will probably require a concrete footing as part of the installation... which I imagine will be dependent on availability/ scheduling of personnel and cooperative weather.

Many MANY thanks, again, to each of you for your generous contribution to this effort in honor of June. Please check back as I will be posting updates re my dialogue with the KT folks. With any luck, we'll be able to schedule a get-together in this area of the trail later in the fall.

Here's to Mystical June Marie!!!

a quick update

Just a quick update on where things stand with the request to the Katy Trail State Park folks…

Pledges are still outstanding from FIVE individuals; our request will be submitted as soon as those checks are received. Initially, the hope was for funds to be raised and the request submitted by September 1… so we’re still a bit ahead of schedule. As Martha Stewart would say... 'Its a good thing.'

THANKS, again, to each of you for your generous support of this project to honor June. Further information will be posted as it becomes available.
