I have good news and I have terrific news.a
First the good news. I just closed the bank account for our breakfast fund raiser and sent CAI a final check for $3,065.20. At the breakfast we gave Greg our check for $50,000.00. Our total contribution to the institute is $53,065.20. We need to collectively pat ourselves on the back for a job well done.

Now the terrific news. We just received an email from CAI advising us that the total donations from the Durango events, breakfast, evening presentation and direct mail-ins, is an incredible $178,917.89. That’s not a typographical error. And, that number doesn’t include our recent $3,065.20 check!

At a breakfast with David Relin, the co-author of the book, he thought this might be the largest fund raiser CAI has ever had. Way to go Durango!

a Obviously the book and the life work of Greg Mortenson has resonated with all of us. He has demonstrated that one person can make a difference; and shown us that that there may be another better way.

Thanks to everyone who participated so generously. a
