Well, folks, we had a great time at the official launch of our Boatworks program at the Museum last week! We posted up photos here, on our Facebook page: Boatworks at the Brickyard at the Museum! …take a look! Our Tiny Boats got a lot of interest too:
This week we’re officially starting the tooling up process, getting the forms built and getting our teaching staff up to the cutting edge. More on that later, we’ll have some photos this week.
…and a little bit of challenging news. In spite of the fact we raised over $20,000 in matching funds for the program, MassDEV took a pass on our grant request. Some days you make the cut, some days you don’t. This makes it a little more challenging to launch the project, but, along with the funds you’ve donated, we’re going to be working hard to raise more donations. Be assured, your generous donations will go directly to teaching kids to build boats!
Want to help us out? You can, using PayPal, either with your credit or debit card, or your PayPal account, by clicking this link: Donate!
Every dollar counts, and we’re a 501c3, so your donation is tax-deductible!
Stay tuned for more news coming soon!
