Donation Registry

So here's the deal. We're both functioning adults (or at least pretend to be). We've lived together for almost 5 years, and have a full house of things that we like. Instead of a traditional registry, we'd really like to give back to our community and neighborhood to a few select organizations that make an impact on where we live.
River Market Garden Club
Every Saturday in spring and fall you will find us on our knees getting dirty. We have been active members of the garden club since shortly after the club's founding. This volunteer workforce has taken over many of the public and private green spaces in our neighborhood. We have helped plant 88 trees and hundreds of native plants in the otherwise concrete jungle we call home.
Beehive KC
We live in a diverse, vibrant neighborhood where, unfortunately, not everyone has access to the care and resources they need to thrive. Beehive KC steps in and helps connect people to housing, healthcare, and social services. Their people powered approach helps and strengthens our community to prevent people from being left behind.
Heartland Tree Alliance
Heartland Tree Alliance, part of Bridging the Gap, helps create and maintain the trees in our city, including the trees right next to our house and all over our neighborhood. They also provide training, education, and even free trees to our area. When donating, select "Heartland Tree Alliance" as the designation for the donation.
Bad Idea Fund
Ok, fine. You want to give us money? You can!

 With two techy engineers in the house and nobody else to stop us, we often do fun wacky projects for not much more reason than "because we can". Internet controlled towel warmers? Yes, the world did need those. Importing specialty gravel from Germany? Only the finest for our plants. Whole house compressed air? Hair dryers and dish towels are so last year. We really don't need anything in our lives beyond more time with our friends and family, but if you feel inclined to give us a gift, we'll do our best to make it a good story.

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Dress Code: Photogenic Casual Look good, feel comfortable. Think polished but relaxed — like you’re headed to a nice brunch or garden party.
