We
held our first meeting in February, 2006.
It was apparent from the immediate excitement and number of volunteers wanting
to help that we could make a local Miracle League happen!
Within
a the first year, we had formed a Board or Directors, received offers of land,
construction assistance, free legal support, enjoyed the endorsement of local
civic commissions and councils, and our story was featured in numerous
newspaper articles.
In
2007, we established our non-profit status, received a commitment for $500,000
from Catellus (a local developer), and selected a building site and entered
into talk with the City of Alameda for the lease of the land. We stretched the word of the Miracle
League in featured news stories, magazine articles, and radio and television
stories. We also began our formal
fundraising campaign.
We
plan to start building in the Spring of 2008!
