Zion Gateway Commonwealth, a new non-profit based out of Toquerville for education and community enrichment, is all set up to receive donations. Check out our shiny new Donate button on the website!
Yesterday a very patient bank employee helped us to set up an account for our new commonwealth school with the donations we have received and raised so far.
One very special moment in this process was depositing all $43.39 of the cash our earliest (and some of our youngest) donors had worked to donate!
These are my sons (see picture). They are very excited about our new family school, where everyone from baby to Mom and Dad (and Grandma and Grandpa, too) are welcome to come play, learn, and teach what they know and love. Not a "school" in the common sense but a non-profit commonwealth of families pooling their time, talents, and treasure for the good and growth of all. It is a truly enriching experience when we come together once a week in the spirit of community!
Earlier this year, my sons and I pulled weeds for a neighbor and received our first cash donation in support of this endeavor to build the Zion Gateway community through a new commonwealth school. Inspired, my sons came home and pulled all of our weeds for cash from Dad--money which they generously donated to our school building fund, previously residing in this glass jar (see picture).
We are currently raising funds for mentor training (through LEMI, the Leadership Education Mentoring Institute) and for wood, soil, and seeds for our community/school garden.
We have already received some very generous gifts outside the money my productive young warriors have raised pulling weeds, and want to thank everyone who has donated, whether by name or anonymously!
I'm happy to announce that as our donations have grown, so has our "donation jar" and you can now donate via PayPal on our website: www.ziongatewaycommunity.org

Thank you, Pam Yeager, for our first donation!
And thank you to Bill Lantz, Sam, Layne, and Ben for your sweat and treasure.
