Plans for a fund raiser in September, after Labor
Day, with Phil Jackson as keynote speaker continue.
The group is researching venues and sponsorships
for the event.
Swift Eagle President David Haakenson and founding
member Debbie McClenahan were interviewed by the
Vail Daily and a great article on the foundation,
("Swift Eagle to the Rescue"), was in the April
23, 2005 issue. The article can be read online at
www.vaildaily.com.
Contact has been made with several radio stations
for free non-profit ads as well.
The Swift Eagle web site, www.swifteagle.org
is up and running. (There is a swifteagle.com which
is not us.) We'd love to hear what everyone thinks
of it!
A second mailing was sent out to potential donors.
Thank you notes have been sent out to our growing
number of contributors. |
