Kickstarter!

It was the race to the finish as far as funding goes, but we made our kickstarter goal!  Thank you to everyone who contributed, forwarded the funding link, who talked about the project and who supported this effort.  We were able to use the money raised from the silent auction to make up the difference in the last hour of the open funding window to receive the $6500 in funding.  There are some fees associated with kickstarter (I think up to 10% of the total earned), so thus far, we are up to about $5500 earned of the $20,000 goal!

This is such happy news!
