Good Afternoon Free Tours by Foot Philadelphia,
My name is Gregg Connell, and I am pursuing a Master of Liberal Arts from Temple University. I currently am taking MLA 5220 - The Urban Cultural Ecology: Old and New Models of Sustainability. The course has been involved in an experimental new process, involving cryptocurrency, and raising money for a local Philadelphia Organization. Currently we have raised approximately $10,000 dollars in the crypto currency. The crypto currency used is called Steem. Here is a link to the blog/crypto currency website https://steemit.com/. The crypto currency we have produced is created by posting blogs about historical elements in Philadelphia and elements related to the year of 1918. The blogs then produce Steem currency which has a U.S. dollar value if sold. We have compiled a list of possible organizations to donate the cryptocurrency Steem to. The goal of this donation would be to provide a historical, artistic, or educational organizations with resources to better Philadelphia. One of my colleagues proposed a great idea of providing free walking tours to local schools. They raised two significant concerns. The first was the limited history provided by most Tour Groups about Philadelphia after the Colony Era. After researching your tour group, we found you cover a vast area of Philadelphia History. The second issue brought up, was the high cost of tours for the local school districts. Once again, after in-depth research, your pay what you want concept, provided a great opportunity for many to experience Philadelphia History at a cost determined by the individual. While donating this money could pay for local walking tours of local students, we comprised what we believe could be a better plan. The plan would include creating a local historical walking tour, which would provide the material, routes, and history needed for teachers to provide the tours directly to their students. Your website provided great information on your diverse tour guides backgrounds. We feel, that with your help, we could create a program to distribute to local schools. Would your team be interested in pursuing our mission?
Thank you for your time,
Look forward to hearing from you,
Gregg Connell
