Got them headed in the right direction, showed them the value of building coalitions to study and work the different avenues to get the big bucks in.

All it took were some kiddie wading pools in the hall to keep the rain coming in thru the roof off that fine old oak floor, that demonstrated the dire needs and shamed a few folks, then a couple pancake suppers, and some bake sales and other lil fund raisers to help some folks see that it wasn't impossible after all. Was happy when a couple of smart people took the helm and moved it to completion by getting grants and matching funds.

A friend sent a photo of the finished job and that picture gives me joy. Good to know that preschool doesn't get cancelled due to ceiling tiles coming down and the Super of Schools no longer has to try to work in an office that would get down to 26 degrees some days.
