Hi guys, sorry to be completely MIA for so long. Unfortunately, I don't
have enough time to catch you up on all the insanity that has consumed my
life for the past two months... I have, however, been keeping up on most of
the association happenings...
I just found a couple of resources with lists of potential fiscal sponsors.
They're below. I didn't have a ton of time to sift through it, but I think
it might help.
Aslo Eric Hanson (425.870.5282) from Whole Energy left me a message and
would like to continue building a relationship with SJBF.
I hope some of this helps. I'm hoping to be around the island in June.
I'll definitely be looking to reconnect then.
Peace,
Jacob
