[Ohio-talk] grant, not hopeless!

[Abby Bolling]

Hi All,
Hope this email finds you all well.
I wanted to give you all an update on this grant that I was working on.
The Dayton Foundation, while I met their criteria, was a bit too 
involved for me to complete all of their paperwork in time for their 
committee meeting for December, and they only meet four times a year. SO 
I was sad to send the text to Eric saying that the grant probably wasn't 
going to happen this year...
Well!
It may!
I recently submitted the proposal to the Knights of Columbus Dayton 
Chapter, and their board approved it. It is being shown at the March 
meeting for general membership to vote on it! I probably will not 
receive the full amount of the proposal from them, but it will be a start!

Fingers crossed that this project may actually happen for us. I will 
keep you guys updated on how it goes.

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

Abby
