First Ever Grant!

Found another envelope amongst my mail received while I was on my trip, this envelope was from the Edmonton Arts Council. I applied for a travel grant many months back and it was accepted! Its only $750 dollars to help cover travel costs (my air tickets to Thailand are about $1400) but heck its a grant, my first ever grant and I am desperately short of funds right now, it is also nice that the work is considered important enough by the Edmonton Arts people to justify this grant.

Thanks very much to the Edmonton Arts Council, the grant money is greatly appreciated.
