Former LoGro RepJ reporter Bonnie Obremski and hubby Josh Rowan departed Northfield three years ago but we hear from them regularly.
Their current adventure: the restoration of an 87-year-old wooden schooner named ‘Hindu’ (which has its own Wikipedia entry: Schooner Hindu) and the start of their charter sailing business.
I got this from Bonnie via a post to my Facebook Wall:
Hi Griff! Hoping you might vote for us to get a small business grant at https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com/. Search “schooner hindu” and we should pop up.
Chase and LivingSocial are awarding up to 12 individual grants of $250,000 to 12 small businesses and to be eligible, Bonnie and Josh need at least 250 votes.
What do you need to do to help? Just visit the website Mission Small Business. You’ll be prompted to login with your Facebook account.
Once you’re logged in, search for “Schooner Hindu” or find it by entering Key West, Florida. You’ll then see a button to click to SUPPORT it.
Thx Griff! Have to clarify in light of grant rules that we more than welcome Northfielders whether you vote or not. Thanks folks!
With the instructions given, not possible to vote for Bonnie and Josh
If you’re in a voting mood, here’s the link to Auditory Sciences’ application for the same program. Tweleve firms get the award, so it’s not a single winner type of deal.
