Update #33: Grandma Gatewood makes CBC Magazine!
Our Grandma Gatewood project is the subject of a wonderful article in CBC Magazine by Nina Polien Light this month.
I'll be telling Emma's story this weekend at the Buckeye Trailfest and there'll be another performance in August. Keep up-to-date with our schedule by checking our calendar.
Update #32: Kickstarter funds support FundRaiser, Estelle Brown
We've just hired Estelle Brown with the help of your donations to work on raising money for the documentary production. Thanks to all of you for making this possible.
If any of you have any ideas about where to go or who to talk to for additional financial support for the documentary production, don't hesitate to send me a message!
Thanks!
Update #31: New Way To Support the Cause!
If you have friends who didn't join you in our Kickstarter Campaign for Grandma Gatewood -- tell them they can still help out! If they're going to do any on-line shopping, if the go through ShopForYourCause and choose Eden Valley Enterprises as their cause and then shop through the site, the company will donate a portion of their purchases back to us! It's easy and they don't have to spend any additional money to support our project. Feel free to use it yourself!
Thanks!
Bette Lou
Update #30: EVE Notes available
The latest edition of our sporadic newsletter, EVE Notes is now available. I'll be posting project updates here as they happen as well, but you can always check our Grandma Gatewood page in between.
As we continue with our major fundraising efforts, if you have any ideas for corporate sponsors or granting agencies, feel free to send me a message. If you have any information about Emma you'd like to share -- it's never too late for new information!
Thank you for your continued support!
