[sudo-discuss] Re: Let's apply for $1.1 Million in Grants for Waste Prevention

Application has just been submitted successfully! Sarah L got us the 4 docs left! Here is the "preview" of the application. I printed the webpage as a PDF. It has all the answers Peter and I put in. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PKy8lycDfy53tCQ5_H9uTWxwz1QKdt04/view?usp=… I may edit it until 11:59pm tonight (Fri 3/3). Please signal message or SMS me at 510.220.7769 if any changes need to be made. I have just requested an omnicommons dot org wiki account. After I get an account, I will upload the balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and the "Preview" of the application I just submitted to stopwaste. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Cheers especially to Peter who wrote the words!!!!!
