The great news is:
WE RAISED THE MONEY!!!
Last week I dropped off a check to Mrs. Ayer for $945.84!Though that was short of the $1200 goal we had set, we also had a large 55 gallon fish tank generously donated, reducing our needed funds by almost $300.
So thanks for all the donations, support, suggestions and assistance.
Mrs. Ayer is planning on ordering the equipment very shortly.
The VT Dept of Fish & Wildlife thinks they will be able to deliver eggs to Richmond Elementary in November or December. Feel free to tune in here - I'll try to add some photos of the kids, equipment and eggs when all is assembled - or check out the RES blog. I think it will be fun program and I hope it will continue for a long while, started with all of our efforts and contributions.
So one last time:
THANKS!!
