Tribal clothing- Shawna Hofmann
I purchased a leather vest from shawnadesigns at LIB, it needed to be fixed, so the peeps (Leah) that sold it to me said it would be shiped to me asap...... 3 weeks later I still have not heard from them. It was not a cheap peace of clothing and I cant wait to get it. Does anyone know how I can get ahold of Shawna Hofmann (shawnadesigns), or have Leah's phone #, or someones phone # that could be of help? any info would be great.

SF & LA Tribal Market

ton-ton — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 18:46:59 GMT

The Tribal Market vision is that of a farmers market combined with a Middle Eastern bazaar. The Tribal Market’s vendors are LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) businesses: i.e., farmers, services and performers which qualify to a LOHAS standard. The Market is a bi-monthly event, one day a month in SF and one in LA. The events are family friendly, artistically presented and environmentally sound. The Tribal Market’s goal is to provide a community forum for economic growth, community development and social action in both SF and LA communities at large.

I am designing the market as a California Farmers Market through the Agricultural Commissioner using their guidelines and infrastructure.
According to them this is what we need to start:
1. A Sponsor: any non-profit or government agency..or any Certified Producer’s Certificate can sponsor. This occurs as a formality and the sponsor assumes no responsibility.
->I have a NPO in mind, i invite any other ideas for sponsors, especially if the sponsor wants to help organize.
2. Location: a market location once a month in SF and in LA. I am working with a friend in SF seeking a location and organizing the SF market. In LA I am searching in the Venice Beach area.
->I am considering Cre8tivity in Venice, any other ideas?
3. License of Health for the Market.

Consider the vision like AAA meets 1-800-DENTIST

Heracles Association (1-800-HEALTHY) offers its member’s exclusive discount services and easy access to a wide range of qualified service providers. While service providers pay a start-up and yearly maintenance fee, to members joining the association is free.
Our service providers are selected with standards set forth to protect our planet and our members. The goal is for the small business owners of California to grow and nurture their business while supporting a community with a shared vision.

The standards include such qualifiers from environmental policy to exclusions to certain corporate entities and bio-genetically engineered products. I need to list out these standards and I would appreciate any input.

1. Green; environmentally sound, leave no trace
2. Exclusion of bio-genetically engineered products or by-products
3. Corporate ethical standards
4.

I was told that AAA and AARP were both started with the idea of being insurance umbrellas..just like this
hmm..

Anonymous Profiling for Insurers

I need to compile a health profile of our community to broker to potential insurers. We now need a web designer to build an anonymous questionaire so that i can compile this info.

standard tempate:
http://www.google.com/search?q=health+insurance+application+form&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
We will provide the insurer with all the standard health info plus other data, for example:
66% vegetarians
73% excersize daily
57% utilize alternative medicine

so we need a web guru and other notable group characteristics

I have been researching California insurance associations. From the info that i've gathered, an association cannot be formed in California for the sole purpose of insurance coverage. Also insurance companies are hesitant to offer coverage to new clubs and associations because of membership issues and billing,etc.
I have had to rethink the business model and I am currently in the process of writing and hashing it out. The vision has become greater and more complex. More to report soon..

Strength in Numbers!

ton-ton — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 06:37:47 GMT

Friends and Family,

I am doing research to develop a non-profit health insurance collective benefiting and targeting our community. I have no health insurance, and I realise that many many of us do not. For this reason, I have established a non-profit public benefit corporation called Herakles Collective, with the specific purpose of providing low cost health insurance and social resources to the artist, healers and performers of the Caifornia community. Using and supporting alternative medicine will support our community and keep our rates low. We are a healthy conscious and progressive community and there is truly strength in numbers. The Collective's fees (insurance rates) diminish as our membership grows. If you are interested please message me with your age and if you are a smoker. Also please join the tribe: http://tribes.tribe.net/herakles
Any input or advice is appreciated!

Eternal Blisses & Blesses!
Thank you,
Michael Antonopoulos "TonTon"
