I've just had this message from Sharon:"VOTE for Robin Macy before July 21!!!! Category: Music This is IMPORTANT, I promise. My dear friend, Robin Macy is the top 10 finalist in the Markham Winery Grant Contest. This is a $25,000 grant! You can help her win in less than one minute of your time. Robin will use the money to save her historic arboretum and music venue (The Treehouse Concert Series) which is in danger due to flooding. The arboretum is located in Belle Plains, KS just outside Wichita. It's a lovely music venue, thanks to Robin. She bought the place years ago. I witnessed Robin restore it from a very desolate situation. To help, all you have to do is take less than one minute and cast a vote before July 21 at: www.markhammarkofdistinction.com bartlettarboretum.cmail3.com/l/460533/kozt6j/kYou can cast one vote per day until July 21st if you like! Please pass this info on to any live music lovers you know out there. It's amazing that we could make such a big difference in the world with such little effort. How often do we get a chance like this? Your help is greatly appreciated. Sharon" added by me: The arboretum is a collection of specimen trees that Robin restored and maintains in her spare time. She uses it as a venue for music evenings. She was the founding inspiration of the group we support, so here is a real chance for a practical gesture to help her!

I'm glad to say Robin's arboretum did win one of the two grants available! The grant of $25000 will enable her and volunteers to tackle the increased flooding and soil erosion, which is threatening both the tree collection and other properties in the area. Thanks to all who supported her
