Folks,
This just rec'd from Mr. Blake Hallman, leader of the Morris Island Coalition.
As you can read below, we've won a major battle. Now we must rally the funds to protect one of America's single most important pieces of hallowed ground. On that day, we can declare complete victory!
Blake's note follows:
Dear Morris Island Coalition members and supporters,
I met with the proposed developer, Harry Huffman last Wednesday; he is interested in selling the Morris Island Coalition the island. I am going to collect all of the information that I can regarding land negotiation, appraisers, and his past dealing with the Trust for Public Land. After that, I recommend the we have a meeting to discuss the issue.
When we met, he told me that we had made it such an emotional issue that he was having a tough time continuing the project, and thus preferred to pursue different options. Congratulations! You all helped to complete the first part and are well on your way to completing the second goal of our mission statement.
I hope that everyone takes a moment to reflect on what has transpired as well as how far we have come.
I offer all of you my thanks.
More to come,
Blake Hallman
Morris Island Coalition
We'll keep you posted. Always remember, many of you are precisely the folks who, to use Mr Huffman's words: "made it such an emotional issue that he was having a tough time continuing the project, and thus preferred to pursue different options."
Cordially,
