The Groundwaters Magazine Project

Check out our new revised website at http://www.groundwaterspublishing.com! It’s still a work in progress, but you’ll find new profiles on many of our contributors, information on Groundwater’s history, its staff and its policies.

Well, things have been pretty intense the last couple of weeks, so I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog. The magazine part of Groundwaters Publishing, LLC has now become a nonprofit project licensed by the State of Oregon as “The Groundwaters Magazine Project.” The project is being fiscally sponsored by the Applegate Regional Theater, Inc. (ART, Inc.) of Veneta, and we will now be able to apply for grant funding as a nonprofit entity. As our fiscal sponsor, ART, Inc. will oversee any grant monies that we receive. We have just applied for our first grant today. If it is awarded to us, it will pay for one full year’s cost of printing and distributing the magazine. I believe that we made a good case for the award and thanks to 22 letters of support we received, I don’t know how they can refuse!

That brings me to the main point of this blog posting. I want to thank each one of you who took the time to write and send us your letters of support! This list includes:

Vicki Sourdry of ART, Inc.
Judy Hays-Eberts
Colin Rea, Manager of the Fern Ridge Library
Lisa Livelybrooks of the Rural Arts Center
Jo-Brew
Quinton Hallett
Joey Blum
Linsey Kau
Herbert Medlin
Paula Krug Keys
Joan Mariner of Fern Ridge Community Action Network

Jean Marie Purcell
Tom Howell
Lee Taylor-Loewe of Neighbors for Responsible Growth

We are truly grateful to each one of you… especially since you had such short notice! So, wish us luck, because if we get funded we will all benefit. All donations to The Groundwaters Magazine Project can now be used as tax-free deductions and we can be assured of at least one more year of Groundwaters. Thanks, all!
