Hello Everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that we are on-track to travel for our final implementation trip. It has been a long year and a half from inception to design to reality. Everyone; the education team, the technical team, and the administrative team have put in countless hours getting the paperwork, fund raising, and design complete for our Education & Technology project.
Here is what we hope to accomplish
When we return we will publish a list of potential projects as requested by our community; it will be a mix of educational, engineering, and IT. We will then schedule a meeting (teleconference) where interested people can jump on board. We are looking for the next leaders, volunteers and supporters. We can only pick one project at a time, so which ever has the most support wins.
And finally, special thanks to our supporters & donors.
Yorba Linda Rotary, who generously donated $1500.00 this last week.
Ubiquti Networks, for Donation of Two Nanostations & Two Bullet2 Radios ($300 Value)
WLanMall.com for Donation/Winning of a Wi-SPY 2.4x ($200 Value)
SpringSoft for an Online Fund raiser which netted us $2400.00
and to the many individual and small corporate donations. We were able to fully fund this project.
