It's been awhile since my last post, April 2005. A lot has happened since then, and it has been a time of busyness and substance.
I finished the wood workers project and have copied about 60 CDs to go to the tradition bearers, historical societies, and libraries. I haven't heard from anyone yet, so I don't know the CD is being received. I now need to look into creating a web site, and I believe I can ask Melissa Anthony of Marianna to do the work.
The search for funding In the Best Interest continues, but now we have a web site and only need money to put it up. Melissa has done a fine job with the site, and I plan to utilize her skills for other projects, namely the book, and It's In My Blood.
I am currently preparing a grant narrative to go with an application to the American Association of University Women (AAUW). It has grants for organizations doing work in the name of women and girls, and In the Best Interest fits the bill. This is an expose project, but it is an educational project as well.
I don't see funds coming in for awhile, but maybe this grant will break the spell. I don't know, I don't understand the grants making process, though I can write a grant with no problem.
I am frustrated, but I want to keep going.. I think something is of value here, and I want to fight for it.
