Hey, Sarah!<br><br>I'm including the general discussion mailing list on this reply. I know<br>there are a few people that would love to help/participate in these (and<br>future) ideas. I hope you don't mind...<br><br>I like the text (included below). I would prefer we lose the phrase<br>"where for a nominal fee", but I'm interested in what others have to<br>say. Maybe we should create a wiki page and group create/edit?<br><br>-James<br><br>> Here's is something that might be a good start for a donations web<br>> page, or at least the general idea. By the way, if we get donations<br>> in the next month, we'd need to have some donation receipts at the<br>> ready. So here's my first pass at this public outreach page - see<br>> below- but I have some concerns about what it is implying, so it<br>> warrants a discussion about the objectives of the organization.<br>> Please let me know what you think
after you read the rest.<br>> <br>> Put Your Old Tools into New Hands – Donate to Davis Makerspace<br>> <br>> Davis Makerspace is a newly formed, non-profit organization, that is <br>> creating a community-based, tool lending library and collaborative<br>> work center, where for a nominal fee, community residents can borrow<br>> tools for repairs and projects as well as get information about<br>> building, design and technology either by working alongside others at<br>> our center or by attending our informative lectures and workshops.<br>> <br>> If you or someone you know, have a collection of tools cluttering<br>> your home, please consider donating them to our program where they<br>> will not only be recycled but will help foster someone else's<br>> learning, creativity and self-reliance.<br>> <br>> We are actively looking for donations of most tools and gardening <br>> implements as well as how-to
books, manuals and dvds for our resource<br>> library. The main requirement is that the tools be in working order<br>> (or serviceable) and non-gasoline powered.<br>> <br>> Please contact us at <a ymailto="mailto:donations@davismakerspace.org" href="mailto:donations@davismakerspace.org">donations@davismakerspace.org</a> to make<br>> arrangements for us to collect your contribution.<br>> <br>> Davis Makerspace is a non-profit, 501c corporation and all donations<br>> are tax-deductible.<br><br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
