Friends,<BR>
<BR>
I enjoyed meeting with you all last night to view the space on Jordan. It seems that many people were interested in the space. Let's have a meeting to discover further interest and clarify the need of the space. <BR>
<BR>
Instead of calling everyone to schedule a meeting, I would like to use email. Please respond with date availability and Please pass this email along to other serious people interested or anybody who attended the viewing last night that I may have missed.<BR>
<BR>
<STRONG>Some things to be thinking about: </STRONG><BR>
What is yours and the communities need?<BR>
<BR>
Will the location be sufficient for your need?<BR>
<BR>
What are some solutions for said need?<BR>
<BR>
What kind of business should we pursue?<BR>
<EM>Sole Proprietorship</EM><BR>
<EM>Partnership</EM><BR>
<EM>Limited Partnership</EM><BR>
<EM>Corporation</EM><BR>
<EM>Nonprofit Corporation</EM><BR>
<EM>Cooperative</EM><BR>
<BR>
Who will own the business?<BR>
<BR>
For-Profit or Not-For-Profit?<BR>
Example of the above attached to a cooperative: A co-op whose purpose is to show and sell the works of member artists does not qualify as a "not-for-profit" organization. Only a co-op whose purpose is educational or which is organized as a museum can qualify for tax-exempt status.<BR>
<BR>
The Deeper we go the more questions arise. <BR>
<BR>
This could be a very financially in depth venture or one of simple financial comfort. I vote the simple financial comfort. I myself am in no place right now to take out a major loan. <BR>
<BR>
I see the potential for all of us to create with minimal resources if need be, but the power is that we have multiple resources. So I think that the potentiality of creating a welcoming space for people to work, create, lounge, save the world and eat is quite high. Lets see what we can do.<BR>
