At Saturday's annual paper session there were five well-received presentations by current or former Savaloja grant recipients. At the end of the meeting I announced that we were within $840 of receiving all the donations needed to receive the full match from a $5000 conditional donation made for Savaloja projects this spring. Several MOU members generously donated on their way out the door, putting us within $500 of being able to claim the full matching amount. The catch: The deadline to claim the matching funds is this Sunday. A few folks have contacted me because they've been unsure where or how to donate, so if you want to help us claim the full matching amount, just go to the MOU home page (http://moumn.org/) and click on the "Donate" link at the upper right. You can use Paypal, a credit or debit card; just make sure to put "Savaloja Fund" in the "Add Special Instructions to Seller" space. Or you can simply mail a check to: MOU, Carpenter Nature Center, 12805 Saint Croix Trail South, Hastings, MN 55033. Write "Savaloja Fund in the memo line and as long as it is postmarked by this Saturday your donation will be eligible for the match.
If you didn't make the paper session and want to read a brief summary of each of the projects we supported this year, go to http://moumn.org/grants.html. Thanks to all of you who have or will become Savaloja donors! ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
