Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on January 5.
All the Backer Rewards that can be mailed have gone out! This week I meet with the Portland Parks Department to review our application and discuss where to put the bench! Right now it looks like the earliest installation would be in June.

Our campaign has come to a close and we are fully funded at $2,619! A huge THANK YOU to every one of our backers, you made it happen!
Now we are looking forward to submitting the bench application in to the Parks department and getting your rewards out the door!
From what Portland Parks has told us about commemorative bench installation, it takes about 16 weeks; so the very earliest we could see a bench would be some time in April. Pouring the concrete footing also requires dry weather, so that will affect the timing of installation too.
We'll also be working on producing your rewards and getting them sent out! Look for a questionnaire in the next few weeks, requesting any additional information we may need from you!
Thank you all, for making something so simple a reality.
Here's to a place to sit in Two Plum Park!

Hello Two Plum Bench Backers!
Its been a whirlwind in the last 24 hours and we've got just over 24 to go! We were featured on the Kickstarter home page and many more folks got to know the story of tiny Two Plum Park. Your outpouring of support, kind words and encouragement has been overwhelming and humbling, Thank You!
We are very, very close to reaching our goal and we'll see what tomorrow brings!
A bench is important for many reasons but most of them center on getting more people to use the Park. Making it easy for folks to enjoy their public green spaces encourages health and well-being as well as a space for the community to come together.
Two Plum Park has always been a strong community space and now we want to continue as we began, making things a little better!
Thank you all for your support!
