Almost a year ago, we announced our first-ever fundraising campaign for Big Eddy, and to this day, I still can’t get over how much of a success it was. To the donor who approached us with a matching request, and then to all of you who enthusiastically donated – we thank you over and over.
Today I write to you to share what has come of it all! As we have shared with some of you in person, our generator has served us very well over the past 20 or so years, but we’ve been inching closer and closer to needing to upgrade it. I never thought I’d be so thrilled to get a new generator, but here I am, feeling ecstatic after getting operating instructions and waving bye to the generator technician.
Thanks to the donated funds, we were able to purchase a new Kohler propane generator and tank. It’s a more efficient system that charges our bank of batteries, which in turn, powers the entire campground.
Again, thank you all so much for loving and backing Big Eddy. It means the world to us, and energizes us, to feel that kind of support. And it makes us want to work hard and make Big Eddy the best place for you to enjoy.
We’re happy to chat with anyone who is interested in this project or our list of upcoming projects that we are hoping to raise future funds for.
I hope you are savoring the long, beautiful summer days – whether that’s checking off all the fun activities you’ve looked forward to or finding peaceful moments in the sun or rain drops. We’ll be in touch soon.
Thank you,
Sarah
