In the good news department we have several items.... 1. Houston Endowment commited $200,000 payable in two installments (June 2001 and June 2002). Thanks to Jack Trotter for asisting with this grant request. 2. Letters are going out to corporate leaders following the recent breakfast. We thank Ken Lay, John Duncan, Scott Yeager and Jack Clark for their assistance on the letter. We especially thank John Duncan and Jack Trotter for their assistance with suggested contribution amounts. Contributions will go to support TFA activities in Houston and beyond. 3. I was in Colorado last week. We have successfully negotiated the support of the Jared Polis Foundation for Technology For All-Colorado. Jared Polis has made a three year commitment totaling approximately $750,000 to support TFA-Colorado as a project o the Foundation. Mr. Polis is a 29 year old entrepreneur who sold the online business of Blue Mountain cards to Hallmark for around $800 million. He is very interested in education and technology issues and has essentially agreed to fund the work of TFA-Colorado for at least three years as additional community support is developed. We will "co-brand" the web presence of TFA-Colorado with the Foundation. THANKS TO EACH OF YOU....
