dear martha - we need to talk!!

tell me about your 501-c-3 and the mission statement, etc.  that would be a huge help, because i know too that it is an arduous and long process.  i am looking forward to writing a "long range plan" and getting it all looking good and attractive and worthy.  it is very exciting to think that perhaps in just a few years we can have a corner in tregaron dedicated to the shelby's with lots of info there, as well as helping tregaron become a "destination" for tourism and family exploration.  

best - shelby
