Fundraising news from the office -
OK. We are seriously fundraising to be able to purchase and plant the requisite trees for the Coopers Point and the Sea Island projects in South Carolina. If 200 people contribute just $25.00 each, we will meet our budget for these two projects, so keep those donations coming in!
Please donate now for the October 24 project! Remember that we are not planting tiny seedlings. We are planting larger community trees so that the homeowners can quickly enjoy the benefits of having community trees in their neighborhood.
And a great big thanks to those who have already donated.
This is going to be an exciting and fun day, so plan to join us for this event!

News from the office
An update from E's Trees president, Ellie Joseph:
Jeff set up a meeting for us so I went to Charleston a few weeks ago and met with Greg Thomas and Tamara Avery to talk about E's Trees helping to plant trees in the Habitat communities. Pat, Terry and Casey joined us to view some of the communities. We learned a lot about Habitat projects and were impressed with the construction and planning of the homes. It is phenomenal what this program accomplishes! Result is that we will be planting trees at two projects: one in Mount Pleasant and one on Sea Island. We are cranking up fundraising efforts and are very excited to get our (2) inaugural projects in the ground. It looks like October 24 is our estimated planting date, subject to agreement from the Mount Pleasant project.
We are also beginning to get our marketplace sorted out. Ordering items for sale and for handout at projects. We should have that up and running in the next few weeks.
Karen met with Marietta wine shop and they will host a fundraiser for us on November 7. I met with Anne Irwin (of Anne Irwin Fine Art) and she will host a fundraiser on January 7, 2010. So here we go, up and running and lots of activity!
