I don't want to get into a discussion about all the details, I just want to query the possibilities for them to assist in finding other local sponsors, as it is mentioned below. Did they give examples of contacts they have in the canton for example? I see that one of the smaller hostels in Interlaken received cantonal funding for expansion, it would be interesting to know if Le Camp has ever had direct funding or subsidies.
The other thing is did you have any feeling that such assistance (even just a contact list) would come before the deadline? Thanks for getting this summary out so quickly for everyone to reflect on -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
