Hi some Friends of Awe,

In the next month or two, we’ll hit $200,000 in grants given by our SF Awesome Foundation chapter. It’s a small number compared to real foundations, but I'm very happy about it.

Our chapter, the fifth one that existed, is turning 15, as it happens—and still going strong.

There was talk of organizing a party to celebrate 15. But between my own loopy, complex life and the lack of a real plan for it, nothing much seems to be happening. We had begun to dial in a possible gathering we could have at The Farm out near Heron’s Head Park.

Five years ago in March 2020 I had invited all the present and former SF Awesome microtrustees to my apartment to celebrate our 10th. Then some cruddy viral critters came along and that was canceled.

If you’re interested in taking a leadership role in making a party happen, we have a little budget for it. And a few people who want to help but are flagging due to lack of someone rallying us.

Reply to this list with thoughts or ideas or email me directly (doa...@icloud.com) if you wish.
