All those involved with Out in the Mountains and Mountain Pride Media, Inc. extend this expres- sion of gratitude to all those vol- unteers who in so many ways support the projects of Mountain Pride Media. It is only through their support that any of the work we do is possible. We would especially like to thank the fol- lowing volunteers to helped with 5 the stuffing of the September issue in August. They are‘: Bob Bolyard, Judith Ruskin, Lou, Bob Wolff and a wonderful person who requested to remain anony- mous. We also thank deeply (though often times not enough) the drivers who volunteer their time to distribute the paper state-~ wide. Mountain Pride Media, Inc. received a generous $10,000 grant from the Vermont Unity Project (of the Vermont Community Foundation and the Samara Foundation) so we can update our technology and equipment essential for the pro- duction of the paper. The funds will also be used for staff train- ing. We all thank the Vermont Unity Project most sincerely! Our deep appreciation and thanks also go to the Barony -of All Vermont, which raised and donated to MPM over $750 at its August event. The check was presented at a casual athering at Shooka Dookas on ept. 25.
