Here’s some fun positive news to help celebrate the holidays:

It's been a while since the momentous announcement at the Boeing Employees Credit Union - People Helping People grant awards event. Since 12-15-22, to be exact.

You all did it. Your votes made the difference. WEAN won the Peoples’ Favorite grant award of $40,000.00. Kind of flabbergasting, super keen. Still a little floored. The host mentioned, with a certain degree of awe, that over 9000 people voted. From the way he said it we may conclude that this was an exceptionally large number of votes. That would be you and all your hundreds of best friends, email buddies, family, and friends of friends. A great big giant THANK YOU to all of you who voted, forwarded, reminded, and cheered us on.

That $40k makes it possible for WEAN to begin the transition to WEAN 2.0, with genuine paid staff, just like the grownups do. And we’ve already got a job posting for an Executive Director hitting the social media sites. So if you know anybody who is a hard core visionary environmental super hero, please do direct them our way, specifically to WEAN20ED@gmail.com.

And thanks again for your support. It sure has made a major difference for WEAN and for all of WEAN’s projects and programs.

On behalf of the whole WEAN gang, thanks again & enjoy the holidays.
