Hello!
This is your invite! Here’s the dealio … we’ve signed the lease on the Catalina facility, which is going to be the nonprofit’s headquarters for community, education, retreats, and awesome events. The space is amazing … and it needs a lot of work!
We’re putting together our first “barn raising” work party Aug 8-11.
you in?!?!
The plan:
Get a great volunteer crew together and head out to Cat Harbor for a weekend of shared purpose, belly laughs, yummy food, and lots of dreamy community time. We’re also going to have Marine Biologist and all around sea hero Jordan Chancellor giving us some ecological context. In short: SUPER FUN WEEKEND!
We have room for ~5-6 additional people aboard Lindy. But if you have your own boat, please raise a hand and consider anchoring or grabbing a ball in Cat Harbor. Not only would that increase our manpower … but flotillas are tons of fun!
Fundraising:
To cover expenses for the weekend (food, fuel, work materials) and support the nonprofit we’re asking for your help raising a little bit of money. The minimum target is $250 per person, more = awesomerrrrr.
But don’t sweat, this is simple! With your RSVP you’ll get a personalized fundraising page with a shareable link that explains the whole project and gives background on Onward and our programs and goals. All you have to do is share the link and say “Hey mom/cousin/coworker/friend, I’m volunteering my time for this awesome cause, will you help support my trip with a small donation?”
See, easy peasy! We’ll have some cool incentives for high achievers.
Schedule:
Thurs 8/8: Arrive at boat at 8am, Depart MDR by 9am.
Thurs-Sun: Barn raising awesomeness
Sun 8/11: Raise Anchor by 10am, back home around 3:30pm
