Our Working Eco-Video Destination List

Hi friends,

We leave in 6 days for our cross-country journey and I wanted to send the most updated destination list for our eco-video project. Before I get to that, just a quick note to say thanks to all our friends and supporters who came out for our big dinner-concert fundraiser on Saturday night! We had a wonderful time enjoying great food and music - many thanks to our great musicians Katrin, Greg Hare, and Jubilee Gardens. This was our last big fundraiser before we begin our cross-country journey next Monday morning, and we came close to our goal of $2,000 raised at the dinner-concert. Many thanks to everyone who came and made it such a magical evening!

Now, here's our list of stops along the way. It is a working list, subject to change!
