Homer Alaska - Letters

The Game: At the recent Homer Foundation annual meeting, local nonprofits were invited to play a game — write a grant that emphasizes "Doing More with Less." Efficient use of resources — and they would do a demo on how the winner is chosen.

The Stakes: $500 would be awarded to the winner.

The Players: Various nonprofit groups including Homer Community Food Pantry with our project for printing new media material to replace our "last century" look (that was more outdated than some of the food we share!)

The Winner: A very worthy project — expansion of the KHLT/suppliers/students/Food Pantry Potato Growing Project.

Special Ruling: Wait! It's not over. Up steps Mr. Cottonwood Fund. He as good as slaps an extra $500 on the table and declares a second winner. The Cottonwood Fund claims sponsorship of our project. That was sweet. Thank you.
