[TheForge] Grants?

[williamsiron at comcast.net]

Dave, 



I taught a 3 credit hour class in blacksmithing for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore during January. All of the students paid to become members of Furnace Town, a living heritage museum. As members, they were covered by Furnace Towns general liability insurance. Perhaps something like that is possible for you.
