5620 Yesterday was a great event… getting funding can be really long and boring… this was really fun. And quick… it was nerve wracking though…
57 You’re asking people to put their trust in you as an individual, not just paper… its how you come across… we just find that it’s a good process… the good thing is that they can see what you doing and where its going and why we need it… the turn out was great…
5755 The response was phenomenal
5803 People can’t complain… they voted for it… if it didn’t get funding there’s still other options…
5830 A big problem these days.. is funding.. good people can write special proposals… its not fair. . its not about the project its about how good they are at writing proposals… this is a better system…
5920 This process is very direct… not like the normal way
