Hi Ron and Stephen,
Thank you for asking about the statue!
Update - I met with a professional fundraiser here in Saskatoon just
before Christmas and he advised us not to do anything with the Joni
statue until February earliest, as no-one in Saskatoon gives money at
the beginning of the year because of Christmas and New Year.
So I held off doing anything until recently - now back into it. We
have about 500 dollars raised, we've found a sculptor, I'm about to
approach Joni's manager to check how she feels about it, I've applied
for a Saskatchewan Arts grant which we need non-profit organization
status for, so I've applied for that too, and we're having a poster
made up for local distribution. We've also made contact with several
local business leaders and experienced fundraisers who are all very
supportive and interested. I've also started writing to the sponsors
of Joni's art exhibition at the Mendel to ask if they will donate to
the statue fund.
The thing now is to think of a fundraising benefit we can hold and
when. If you have any ideas, they'd be very gratefully received.
Best,
Sarah
