Thanks and progress update

Special thanks to http://www.indepthwraps.com for the graphics provided for our vehicles this week! John and Torri, 40wells loves your work and thanks you!
Met with the UPS Foundation this week and while they didn't say "no" to a grant, they can not provide a large grant as their Clean Water focus has shifted to Clean Air (makes sense).
Also met with Adedgetechnologies.com VP - meeting was excellent! They are doing great things in the area of water purification (based here in ATL but a broad customer base). Hopefully they will sponsor at least one well in the near future through charity: water. (Thanks for the advice and contacts Greg!)
Still need small donors who want to share in the excitement and success: http://www.40wells.org

40wells.org progress to date . . .

Met with charity: water Director of Development for lunch today. A real live staff person - and it proved that they are as cool in person as they are on their website and tweets. Carrie had lots of great advice and answered some questions I had.
Thanks Carrie! (FollowFriday: @charitywater and @40wells )

40wells.org has over $6,300 raised so far. More than 300 people will receive clean water as a result.
Goal for end of August - $10,000.

Next phase for 40wells.org

The main website has been launched and already over 700 visitors have stopped by. About 200 have come from Twitter (wow!) and a handful from search engines (imagine that - they work). Now we move into the off line fund-raising phase and eventually (hopefully) selling some merch.
Looking for some folks out there to setup/run their own fundraisers. Small or large - it can be a garage (tag/yard) sale or a concert - every bit helps! We're setting up an Ultimate Disc (aka Frisbee) Tourney in a couple weeks.
Thanks everyone! This has been a fun and exciting "crowdsourcing" project! All for the most important cause - human life.

Thanks again!
