Cascadia Wikimedians User Group's 2015 Annual Plan funding proposal is now live with the Grants Advisory Committee.

Please note:

* After our officer selection (5) plus our proposed two temporary part-time outreach workers, that brings the number of people who get the higher level of background check to 7, so I moved 2 budgeted background checks from standard to enhanced.

* Dependent care costs: budgeted at $600 with an estimate of 4 events, at $150 each for 4 hours each. More detail may be forthcoming if I get a return phone call from a childcare agency.

* Some calendared events are moved from February to March due to GAC estimated review of 6 weeks. Some February activities are contingent on approval from WMDC and/or other donations, otherwise they will wait until March.

* Scholarship, travel, and award policy development added as Board action items for March.

One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not know.
