To date we have successfully raised $4,200,000 Million for this amazing project. We are now facing the task of raising an additional $1,500,000 Million in USA Funds. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The State Government of North Dakota , The Province of Manitoba and the Canadian Federal Government have all supported our cause with incredible resolve. However we have been unable to acquire any USA Federal support to date, so now we must look to private funding sources to "Deliver our Dream".</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We are asking all our American friends to support our campaign by donating to the International Peace Garden Capital Fund. The Peace Garden is registered charitable 501 C 3 Corporation. You can make a donation by contacting Doug Hevenor CEO/COO toll free at 888-432-6733 or emailing him at <a href="mailto:dhevenor@peacegarden.com">dhevenor@peacegarden.com</a>.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>When successful in raising this remaining $1,500,000 amount we will receive equivalent matching funds from the Canadian Federal Government and meet our Capital goal of $7,500,000 Million in total.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Our Center, a new year round facility will provide needed classroom space, archives, library, permanent display areas, improved retail area, restaurant and of course our conservatory. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Imagine in the dead of winter being able to stroll amongst a delightful collection of tropical plants. The Conservatory will follow the theme of peace gardens from around the world and include tropical palm, ferns, cycads, orchids, aroids and many other wonderful botanical curiosities.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Please accept my personal invitation support this tremendous project!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Cheers,</div><br /><div>Doug Hevenor</div><div>CEO/COO</div>International Peace Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810723427512343249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421107892271747746.post-70681099006791640362007-06-01T01:48:00.000-05:002007-06-01T01:51:51.986-05:00The renovation of the historic lodge is underway.
