Update #1: Thank you! We are 39% funded 6 days after our launch

Posted on October 19, 2009

Dear Backers,

Thank you for your amazing generosity and support. We are doing great, having raised $965 in under a week. We are 39% funded and are focusing now on spreading the word so we can raise that other 61%! Remember, you will not be charged unless we reach our goal.

We have sold out of some rewards and have just added an exciting new reward from gardener Trevor McElroy, who is a professional tour guide by trade. He has offered to give a 60 min. tour of Olde City, Philadelphia for groups of up to 4 people. Historic Philadelphia is an enchanting and inspiring place, so we are thrilled that Trevor is able to offer his knowledge and skills up to folks who plan to visit or perhaps have lived here for years without ever taking a tour.

As you can imagine, we are also busy working with community partners and the media to publicize our efforts and make our case. We'll be posting more updates as the Zoning Board Hearing date draws closer!

Thank you again, and have a great week!
