It’s the people that matter

Worth attending the below if for no other reason than to get more puns like the ones below...

If you’ve ever explored any of CREW’s four trail systems, you'll likely have noticed the CREW Trail Sponsor signs. These signs are a tangible way for businesses to support CREW Trust’s trail maintenance mission while publicly acknowledging our commitment to the protection and stewardship mission of the entire 70,000 acres within the CREW Project boundaries. Around 90,000 people visit the CREW trails each year - each and every one of them pass by these signs. The annual CREW Trail Sponsorship campaign remains one of our most important fundraisers, and this year we’ve added an affordable opportunity for individuals and families to also show their support. For just $250, you can have yourself or family listed on six trailhead sponsor signs as a testament to your love of CREW. It also makes a great gift to someone you know who loves CREW as much as you do! New signs will go up on October 1st and remain in place through September 2025. We'd love to add you as a sponsor for the upcoming year, but time is running out to grab the few remaining spots! If you have any questions, reach out us at rlucius@crewtrust.org! You may also grab your spot online at www.crewtrust.org/donate and select "sponsorship" under donation type! #wildlifeconservation #swfl #conservation #floridanature #floridawild #crewtrust #ConservationMatters #CREW #naturelovers #CollierCounty #leecountyflorida #environment #wetlands #bonitasprings #outdoor

“Why can’t Tun Tavern once again stand in Philadelphia?”  We wanted to provide everyone an update on the status of the rebuilding of The Tun TODAY, the idea of rebuilding The Tun originated in 2015. While there had been earlier attempts to rebuild the tavern, none were like this. Past attempts did not include the other organizations that can trace their origins to The Tun. Once the decision was made to “rebuild”, the other organizations were contacted, & a “coalition” was formed with all 6 organizations with a heritage at Tun Tavern: Pennsylvania Freemasons, Society of Saint George, Saint Andrews Society, Sons of Saint Patrick, USMC & USN. In 2021, the search for a location commenced, to give The Tun’s eventual patrons the experience of colonial Philadelphia. The land chosen is currently a parking lot, about 250 yards from the original location.  From the start organizers insisted that the re-established Tun should be a functioning tavern, but operate as a non-profit with all operating profits donated to veteran charities, masonic charities, & scholarships.  “Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation”,  was formally created in February 2021, & registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with the stated mission “To rebuild & re-establish The Tun™ as it was, a functioning mariner’s tavern reminiscent of colonial Philadelphia, serving period-influenced refreshments, food, entertainment & offering an educational experience through exhibits, historical documents, & special events.”  The Foundation, headquartered in Philadelphia, with representation on its Board of Directors from each of the six “coalition” organizations, is tasked with the rebuilding of The Tun, oversee its management, & the eventual distribution of profits to veteran, masonic, and educational charities. Since the creation of the Foundation, progress has been considerable. In October 2023, an Agreement of Sale was signed to purchase the required land. In November 2023, an architect, engineer, and construction manager were formally under contract. In December of 2023 the Board of Directors were ratified and adopted the Foundation’s formal bylaws.  While the bulk of the historical research has been accomplished, ongoing research continues for clarification purposes. Initial environmental testing has also been completed & a zoning application is currently being readied for submission.  While much has been accomplished to ensure the completion of this goal, there is much remaining. In February 2024, we are set to close the land deal; June 2024 the design, zoning and permitting is on schedule to be completed. The goal is to have the groundbreaking and construction begin in November 2024 with the grand opening, 10 November 2025. We are now in full fund-raising mode. There are multiple ways you can help see this dream become reality. Begin by visiting the website www.TheTun.org; you can help spread the word on this effort; & you can follow us on social media to be kept updated on the dream.

Since joining Prosperity 24/7, I've come to realise that there's not much that brings us together like a good Love to Ride challenge. We managed to top our respective leaderboards in the recent May challenge, although Greener Kirkcaldy gave us an excellent run for our money. We got new people involved in the challenge, we saved an estimated 546lb CO2 through cycling instead of driving and as well as cheering on our usual stalwarts, I also discovered which colleagues will come through last thing on a Friday and undertake a round-the-island-cycle for the extra miles... Sure, winning is fun but what's really nice is to see the behaviour changes starting to take root in the segment of our company that aren't die-hard cyclists (and I include myself in that). Last September I noted that I'm a reluctant cyclist but I'm becoming less reluctant and more willing to do that commute by bicycle. I've also noticed our bike store becoming busier and less frequent cyclists populating the Love to Ride feed more often. That's no mean feat. As someone who deals with change while delivering projects, change isn't always easy to embed but I've always been a fan of gamification as motivation in the right settings. And one of those right settings will be Prosperity Day in September, when our colleagues and clients will compete for bragging rights but also for the much better reason of raising money for charity - this year, we're supporting Healing Waves UK and Jersey Hospice Care - two very deserving charities. So, if you want to do your part, why not sign up for or donate to the tenth Prosperity Day? https://lnkd.in/eFAaUGGf #Lovetoride #change #prosperityday #healingwaves #hospice #charity #cycling
