Hello Folks,

 

The 3rd annual Mon-Earth Benefit Concert was last Saturday, April 22. I don't have the final numbers yet, but it looks like we ended up with a modest profit of about $500. Of course, I was hoping for more. And if there was a significantly higher profit, my plan was to email the orgs and request proposals for using the funds. I was then going to bring in my core volunteers and develop a consensus for distributing the money. However, with the profit being relatively small, I have decided to forgo that process and instead just make two equal distributions: one to the WV Highlands Conservancy, who has provided event insurance for the last two years; and one to the Mon Valley Clean Air Coalition, whose subgroup CALP, was the initial inspiration for the event.
