Visit to the Heidelberg to re-charge my battery after spring break.  This place is so amazing and inspires me to do whatever I can to help the project gain funding and expand!

 

Chugging away. . .

End of the semester is coming up quick.  I have been thinking a lot about my final project and I really want to put thought into it.  I would love to write a grant proposal with the possibility of having it actually funded.  Perhaps incorporating the Heidelberg's mission and creating something to encourage the work they do.  I have really been amazed and inspired by the city beautification and how much pride and positivity it brings.  I believe that incorporating the community is vital when designing my grant idea....  Think, think, think!

2. wind, and water powered
3. car free!!

I was so impressed by everyone in my group!  So crafty and artsy!  I loved our Mayor so much, I took the him home
