ALT-update Mailing List: Harvest Moon and other exciting news...

[Updates on the Athens Land Trust's Activities (alt-update]

Just wanted to send out a reminder about the 
Harvest Moon Dinner on Saturday night.
We have 6 tickets left so if you haven't gotten 
yours yet and you'd like to come,
give us a call at the office - 706.613.0122. 
Here's a link to the info on our website -

In other exciting news, we recently received a 
donation from the new Hotel Indigo group that is 
building an eco-boutique hotel in downtown 
Athens. They decided that rather than have a 
traditional groundbreaking ceremony, they would 
hold a "greenbreaking" where they would donate 
money to causes in Athens. We were selected as 
one of the two recipients of their donation. A 
big thank you to the Rialto Group for this gift!

And the really BIG news is that we have been 
donated a home of our own!!! Emmanuel Episcopal 
Church has donated a cottage on Pope Street to be 
our new office space. The Harvest Moon Dinner 
will serve as a kick off of our Capital Campaign 
to raise money for the cost of the rehabilitation 
of the cottage. We are so grateful to the members 
and vestry of the Church for their gift. A 
special thanks goes out to the Senior Warden of 
the Vestry, Naomi Norman, for all her help in facilitating the process.

Hope to see you this weekend for a wonderful 
dinner under the full moon in the pecan grove of the Powers Farm.
