The Payment Goal Has Been Reached !

 
Contributions have been received from 22 states:
Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Washington, California, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Hawaii, and Minnesotans from over 150 cities have contributed to the cause.

Since the yellow ribbon fundraising campaign began in 1994, we have received over 1,500 contributions in the amounts of $1 to $3,000, totaling over $105,400. These contributions, plus prepayments by three signers of the voluntary assessment agreement and monies paid by some of the residents provided the funds to reach the payment goal.

Now that the goal has been met, surplus funds and future contributions will be used to maintain and renew the forest as needed, to work to permanently preserve this acre, and to continue our association's mission of education and raising awareness of the importance of green space.

It is such a priviledge to have had a tiny role in this tremendous accomplishment. I am in awe of you all. Here is a small gift to help maintain the forest."
