Dear Backers,
All of us from the Sloan Street Community Garden thank you profoundly for this amazing outpouring of support from our friends, family, concerned citizens, and the Philadelphia gardening community. Since we've reached our goal, we will be going ahead with collecting the funds through amazon payments and sending out your rewards. We will collect your addresses, choices, and all that after our project end date of Oct. 30. Keep in mind that you can still edit or change your pledge before that date if you wish to request a reward that wasn't available earlier, or anything like that. If you have ideas for additional rewards, just let us know! Perhaps a set of 4 Chicobags?
It is also possible to keep pledging until the deadline. Since this website does take a commission, as does amazon payments, it wouldn't hurt to raise a little more so that we actually have $2500 or more for our project.
You've already done more than enough, but if you're eager to do more, perhaps you'd like to sign our online petition and leave a comment:

We are having a stakeholders meeting tomorrow and will let you know about the outcome as soon as we can. Keep an eye on our blog for updates and the Thank You we will post with all of your names at: http://sloanstcommunitygarden.wordpress.com/

Thanks again for your amazing support - this is a beautiful day for Philadelphia gardens!
best regards,
Julia Deak
