Here are a few highlights: - Alcoa has signed on to donate all aluminum for sculpture beam - a huge gift for us! - Julia Knearl.

We met with the Healthlinks Board last week, and they are very excited abou= t partnering with us. In their good due diligence, they have asked us for *written pledges of support* from the community. So the time is here - those of you who would like and are able to give us your vote of confidence, please *pledge your support**! * What we need now is an *email from you* (beautiful handwritten snail-mail * letters* also gratefully accepted) with your name and* *the amount &/or nature of your pledge, if you would like to share your skills and time. We will send notification when the online store is ready for transactions, but for now, your good word will be a powerful statement for us. Here's a list of ways to jump in, and some of the associated perks: Donations of $20 to $99 (and all levels!) *** Happy karma and the buzz from contributing to your community *** Donation of $100 *** Inscribed sandstone cobble in the Plaza *** Donations of $500 *** Inscribed sandstone block in the Planter *** In-Kind Donations *** Superb visibility for your superb skills *** Volunteer Time *** Network opportunities/meet fun new friends *** Please share this info with anyone you know who might like to be involved i= n this celebration of a thrilling part of Boulder's history, and the story of cycling in America and the world!
