We just received our FIRST donation toward meeting our challenge match for our Grandma Gatewood Documentary!

Update #48 · Mar 4, 2013 · comment

 As you know, the $15,000 grant from the Ohio History Fund is a challenge grant -- meaning we have to raise an additional $15,000 to match it. I just got a check from Ohio Hiker Mary Haskins to get the ball rolling! If you would like to join Mary in helping us meet our goal, get all the information at http://edenvalleyenterprises.org/progdesc/gatewood/ohiohistoryfund/ohfgrant.htm

Thanks, Mary!
