Caroline Henry: the end is in sight!
Fundraising for Caroline Henry's proposed book on small grower, organic Champagne is, due to 150 generous contributors, just over €1500 off its target of €10,000. The total is currently €8455* (85%) with eight days left to get the remainder!
Message from Caroline:
Dear all,
Another short update before I leave
Switzerland to go back to Champagne.
I cannot thank you enough for the
continuing support - all your shares and positive comments are paying off as
we are now at just about 83% with 7.5 days to go!!!
A few more articles on this campaign have
appeared - Erica Landin's Swedish post translated
in a few more Swedish book sales, and Koen Meuwis posted a call to action in
a Belgian wine forum!
Yesterday's Salon du Champagne consumer
tasting proved once again that the consumer cares about more natural
Champagne - in fact they are very hungry to learn more about this specific
type of Champagne. Quite a few people stayed a very long time at my table,
asked many questions and came back with friends to show them the alternatives
to the big brands. A few people also asked for the link to contribute. The
first of these donations came in late yesterday afternoon and I more will
come later today!!
To me this proves this campaign is not
about me, but about the consumer and the producer. The consumer is actively
looking for a more environmentally friendly, natural and healthier Champagne
but he needs a little guiding hand to find his way there. Ultimately this is
why I am writing this book!!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Caroline
