Grantwriting and other ways to help MPS
The Development committee of the Board has set up two new pages on our website to help you find ways you can help our bottom line. To check out possible grants that you could help put together, go to: http://www.mountainpathways.org/grants.html. To see all the ways you can link in to sources of giving at grocery stores and the like, check out: http://www.mountainpathways.org/funds.html. Every little bit helps, especially when it comes from corporations rather than your pocket!
We're rolling ...
The Hatch is up and running. Seat belts are installed, as well as a back up camera so we can see what's going on behind us. A parent is set up to paint it up pretty and we'll be heading to Merlefest in it on April 30!!
