September 2024 Newsletter
Unfortunately the end of summer has come. Since I didn't send out an August or July newsletter I'll break both months down here.
In the beginning of August we decided to go ahead and invite people to register for this project. First board members, then people on the newsletter list then the master list. So far we have Registered: 14 units; 25 people; 6 room apartment only: 5; DDA funds: 8; 7% to goal out of 200 units. It is posted here on the website. Bottom of page. We have 44 people on the newsletter list now, with the addition of people who are on the registered list. If everybody registered with a loved one, We would have about 88 units registered or about 1/2 of the total complex. Please register for you and your loved one separately. Spread the word. This should help with grants or funding.
July 2024 We sent in the Annual Report to the state & filed Form 990N with the IRS. Continued with grant writing or sending out letters of inquiry. Some foundations do not let you apply first, they want a letter of inquiry first to see if what we want to do is related to their grants. We sent in a grant to Tulalip Cares for a $2000 grant for operating expenses. Continue to work on the Letter of inquiries, one for DVA, operating expenses and the last for land. Also working to update the YouTube video for this project.
August 2024 Continued with the YouTube video, almost done.
Send out an invitation to register, please tell everybody.
That's about it. We will need to be patient as this phase of getting grants may take years. I encourage everybody to please register if they have not, even if you don't plan on living there. Things could change in the future.
We always need more participants: board members, community volunteers, grant and land seekers, outreach coordinator.
Enjoy the last waning days of summer!!
