| Winter Walk for the Wilds 2006 is a project fueled by equal
parts inspiration and creative stubborness on Alexandra and Garrett's part.
They have done extensive planning to coordinate financial contributions,
in-kind goods and services, project logistics and communication.
One and all are invited to add their support to Winterwalk 2006.
The funding goal is $13,600.00. Once again we are confident that this can
be reached, and already offers for sponsorship and in-kind services have
been received. |

The Natural
Resources Council of Maine has stepped forward as Fiscal Sponsor for
Winterwalk 2006. By this act Winterwalk 2006 shares the 501(c)(3), or
non-profit status of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, thereby making
the project eligible for grant money. In addition, individual donors now
have a means of making their contributions tax deductible through the
Natural Resources Council of Maine.

2006 should call the Natural Resources Council of Maine at 1-800-287-2345

| Where
are the Winterwalk supporters? |
Garrett thought it might be fun to make a map showing where the sponsors
of the Winterwalk reside.
The result is to the right. The state with the most sponsors is Maine,
followed by Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire.
