Dear friends of Tiburon Open Space,
It seems to us that the timing is particularly ideal to say two very special words: Thank You. Thanks to your efforts, we are a very important step closer to having Martha remain open for all of us, and forever.
Thank you for your remarkable, truly unprecedented support. Nearly 80% (78.81%) of those who could voted “yes” on Measure M. Wow.
Thank you to those of you who volunteered, distributed signs, stood in front of Woodlands and answered questions, knocked on doors, and made important calls. Unselfishly. Personally. With patience and conviction.
Thank you to those of you who donated the dollars we needed to navigate the sometimes difficult, and, often, delicate path forward.
Thank you for continuing to hang in there with us. After significant pledges from Marin County, the Town of Tiburon, and the funds coming from Measure M all totaling $26.1 million, there is a remaining gap of $15 million that we will need to close before the Trust for Public Land can complete the actual purchase. We are looking for donations both large and small. We will be actively soliciting major gifts from local donors, State Agencies, and Foundation entities.
All donations are tax-deductible, an especially nice prospect at this time of year.
If you would like to talk more about the joys and details of donating, please contact Jerry Riessen at j.riessen@comcast.net he would love nothing more than to help you. You can also go to the Tiburon Open Space site at www.tiburonopenspace.org/donations.
We genuinely thank you. Your neighbors thank you. Your kids, and theirs, thank you.
