Please Vote for Our Picnic

Please go to this website and vote once each day.

I found out about this $500 grant opportunity today, and it closes on February 28, so time is short, but I think we can get caught up. The votes will improve our chances.

If you get to that voting page and don't see my name, search for 'Drake.'

Thanks!!!

Proposed Project: "Our rural northern Colorado community is spread over 20 miles along the Big Thompson River and served by two different volunteer fire departments. Major flooding in 2013 made us realize how disconnected we are from our neighbors, and the need for a connected community.

Several property owners in our canyon are collaborating as a coalition with state and federal agencies to work on projects that deal with flood recovery and river restoration, and we want to keep up the post-flood momentum of community feeling and move into wildfire mitigation topics.

Our outreach efforts include two Facebook pages: "We Survived the Flood - Now What" and "Big Thompson Watershed Coalition" as well as a webpage where we can share information with our local area neighbors and stakeholders: https://www.bigthompson.co.

We would use this grant for a community event with food and invite the two fire departments to participate as well as other agency partners - county and state Parks ad Wildlife, the US Forest Service, our county office of OEM, among others - to provide information about wildfire preparedness and general resiliency. It's going to be a community-builder to improve our communication network.
Project Location City: Drake
Project Location State: Colorado

I've got the menu already in mind.

I voted for you but I noticed that the vote ahead of you has the last name Drake. She is in Kentucky. I hope your friends know to look for Colorado when they vote.

Thanks, Martin. I'm getting excited about your birthday, sorry I'm not going to be able to be there, but in spirit.
