Our wonderful friends at at Todd-Dickey Nursing & Rehabilitation dropped this basket by to help us celebrate National Library Lovers Month. Such a kind gesture and it really makes us feel appreciated.

Sorry, everybody! I know the library's phone isn't working right now. We're switching the providers and there was a mix-up. We hope everything will be back to normal by tomorrow, Thursday, July 31.
P.S. This means our fax machine isn't working either.

Go contribute to the park!

Don't pass out, y'all. You're reading that right.

We only have to raise $1,579 more to get all those donations matched by Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority and get the Leavenworth River Park fully funded.

So, please. Please. Please. Please. Please please please please please please.

Dig into those pockets, visit patronicity.com/leavenworthriverpark, and take us over the line.

WE ONLY HAVE FIVE DAYS.

Did we say please???

DO YOU SEE HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO $40,000?????

Help get us over the line at patronicity.com/leavenworthriverpark

A couple of little birds have chirped in our ears about what's holding people back from donating. And here is what they're hearing the most:

"If they get close, I'll see what I can do."

Wait. What?

There are a few reasons not wait to see if we get closer.

1. We are almost $30,000 closer than we were on January 15.
2. If EVERYONE is waiting to see if we get closer, we will never get closer.
3. Whether we hit $40,000 or not, every cent donated still goes to the park. And if your donation is in there, even if it doesn't get matched, it's going to help us build.
4. If we don't hit the goal and get matched, that's not an end to the park. It just means more fundraising work for us. We'll still be able to get started on it this summer.

Today's ask is if you're in that group that is waiting to see if we get closer, go ahead and donate and GET US CLOSER. That way all the others will, too.

If you're waiting to see how close we get, so you can top things off right at the end, well, bless you, but also maybe shoot us a call or an email and let us know.

I would like to take an actual breath this week. 😆

We have 8 days, y'all. *Eight days.*

I believe in us.

See that number down there? 👇

We don't know about you, but with only 2 weeks to go in the fundraiser, it seems GINORMUS to us.

So we need you.

Yeah, definitely donate if you can. But also, spread the word. Share share share.

If you know any small business owners, we're running a special right now. $500 gets you a plaque on the fence. Permanent advertising to thousands of potential customers.

If you know or work at a large business, they can still sponsor the swing set for $6,000 or the large shelter house for $10,000.

If you STILL haven't paid for your sponsored bench or tree (and there are a few of you), please drop a check by the library or pay online at our website.

Any donation or sponsorship can be paid at patronicity.com/leavenworthriverpark.

Because we're down to the wire, folks.

And we have to reach that $40,000 goal by March 15, so the donations will be matched by Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority.

Talk to, email, or message everyone you know. Let's get this done.

We use crowdfunding as a catalyst for placemaking and community development, connecting granting organizations and patrons with hyper-local changemakers in order to build more vibrant communities.

We've added some names to our Heroes list, but if y'all don't step it up, we're never going to reach $7,000! 🤣

Thank you to those of you who have donated. The rest of you... What are you WAITING for?????

Visit patronicity.com/leavenworthriverpark today and help us reach that $7,000....

which will get us closer to $40,000....

and then every dollar will be matched by Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority.

Yipppeeee!!!

WHAAAT????

Your name's not on this list of awesome heroes who answered the call and donated a mere $25 to the park?

Well, get on over to patronicity.com/leavenworthriverpark and we'll be super happy to add you to it!

❤️❤️❤️❤️
