"season of changes". In it, I talked about how our community has gone
through many changes, and as part of the process in changing was my
desire to see us as a community work together toward direct action
projects. I asked for you to go to EschFest, or alternatively buy a
raffle ticket. And you all came through in a big way.
A few select members of the community, spearheaded by Evil Dave,
created EschFest, to benefit the children of Nathan Esch, burner and
friend, who died after an accident at fourth of JuPlaya last year. As
a result of EschFest, over $4500 was netted. But what is the net
result? With $4500 in the bank, being guided by the best broker we
know, and with eight years to work on growing the account, we have
paid off a hefty chunk of the college funds for the boys. As a
community we provided what Nathan no longer could. And I am very very
proud to be part of *us*.
The second project I highlighted was Kipa Ana. Kipa Ana is this
Saturday! As mentioned before, all net proceeds are gong to a burner
founded non-profit organization, called C.O.L.O.R. Scott and Jen
Longheyer founded COLOR in response to the tsunamis of 2005. It is my
favorite kind of non-profit: direct action.
