Old Baldy is not saved yet: What you can do

Many people in the Valley have the misconception that a group bought Old Baldy and she is saved. That is NOT true…yet.
Around July 4th, the Save Old Baldy Foundation began its effort to save this iconic Wimberley Valley landmark by borrowing the needed $170,000 to purchase and hold Old Baldy in hopes that the community would rally to save her by the end of January.
And, indeed, generous people, along with the city of Wimberley, have pledged and donated $107,000 so far. However, unless we can raise the $63,000 balance by January, 2015, we will not meet the terms of our agreement with the city. To meet this goal we need to average about $15,000 each month. If we fall short, the future of Old Baldy is uncertain.
You can help us all to save this special place as a public park for future generations by:
• Making a tax deductible donation through our website (www.saveoldbaldy.org) or sending a check to Save Old Baldy at PO Box 2537.
• Attending Baldyfest Nov. 8 at Cypress Creek Café and donating then.
• Enjoying lunch at Linda Allen’s on Tuesdays in October.
• Tossing some coins in the funnel at the Leaning Pear.
• Sharing your memories and photos on the website above.
For those who donate $100 or more, we offer a SaveOldBaldy T-shirt.
When we all chip in, we ensure that the current and future generations will continue to be free to climb those awesome rock steps and enjoy the views with friends and family. Many of you know that I am a Baldy regular, and I want to climb those steps for a long time to come.
