To the Moon and Beyond!

Hello all,

I hope this email is finding you doing well and settling into your summer.  It seems that summer has finally come here in North Idaho which has been wonderful to say the least!

I am emailing today to personally thank each of you for your continued support in the development of Selkirk Outdoor Leadership & Education (SOLE).  Each of you has been instrumental in the evolution of this program over the past year.  Whether you have personally attended one of our SOLE Experiences, or donated your insight and personal experience we appreciate this support, and we look forward to collaborating in the future.

Today, I am excited to share with you that some of these combined efforts have supported SOLE in being approved as a 501(c)3 non-profit!  This serves to legitimize our organization even further by opening up additional sources of potential funding, and allows our donors to receive a tax deduction. 

Still the work continues! 

As I am sure you realize, the majority of funding for grassroots non-profits such as ours comes from private donations.  Any amount is helpful with assisting us in reaching our fund-raising and programming goals, including offering quality experiential education programming to individuals and groups in need -- especially those whom could not afford it otherwise.  Again as a 501(c)3 donations made to us are tax deductible. 

Currently, we are running a fund-raising campaign which will allow us to obtain much needed programming resources to support our experiential programming, as well as, subsidize programming costs for individuals and groups in need.  If you can not personnel assist us today, you can help us by obtaining additional donors.  As the old adage goes - "it takes a village to raise a child", and at SOLE we also believe that "it takes a child to raise a village".  SOLE is community-based and driven.  These funds will assist us in strengthening our local and regional communities through offering custom-tailored adult and youth experiential education programming. 

Please remember ANY amount will help us reach our goals, no matter how small.  For additional information on this fund-raising campaign please go to our Indie Go Go Page or you can send donations directly to our base camp.  To do so, please go to the SOLE website and click on the "Donate To SOLE!" tab.  There you can find our physical address or in the email footer below.

Also, please continue to stay-tuned to all things related to SOLE by visiting the SOLE website or the SOLE Facebook Fan Page.  We have some excellent Summer experiences coming up so come out and play! 

We appreciate any and all feedback and are open to suggestions, as well as, assistance with all aspects of our programming.  If something strikes your fancy and you think you can be of assistance please feel free to contact us and we'll see how we can fit you in.

Again, thank you for your continued support and we are excited about sharing the future with each of you -- one educational experience at a time!  Hope to see you on the trail or water this summer!

 

Cheers,
Dennison
