Whenever we do have a website (for which I will have to call upon the skills of my very talented community--I'll massage you for it!) I'd like to put a contribution page on it.
I don't want to make TS a nonprofit organization--while we can be a "for profit" non-profit, in my mind, it's a hassle, b/c of the board of directors, meetings, specific procedures, no one on b.o.d can receive any type of wages or salary from any TS business, etc. Maybe later we'll go for the incorporation of a non-profit. But to get us started...
TS will gain some attention from Just BreatheTees & Tags-- all the shirts will have a little tag on them mentioning TS and how a portion of the profits goes directly towards TS, and also pays the wages for the folks who live and work there. Maybe on the sticker backing we just have the website address. And yeah, we'll need help with a JBT&T website, too! Thanks to whoever volunteers to help create those!
So...on TS's contribution page, we state very clearly that while Thanksharing is not a non-profit organization, we need all the help we can get!
Would you like to buy a fruit or nut tree for Thanksharing (or chicken, or seeds, or solar panels, building supplies, etc)?
We list how many we need of whatever we plan to plant, (or whatever, those guys in parenthesis up there), and the cost of each. A little pic with a click on dealy, (you see my mad site bldg skills, yes? ;-) and a counter for how many we still need that goes down with each purchase.
Also add that if anyone has anything material they'd like to contribute, get in contact with us and tell us what, and we'll let you know if we can use it.
Everyone who contributes gets to camp-out (and when we have sleeping stuctures built, stay) for free, our way of saying, "Thanks for Sharing!"
Which I think should be our motto-- Thanksharing, "Thanks for sharing!" (too cheesy--nah--way better than "Gratitude is our Attitude")
We'll offer camping and weekend workshops as soon as we're able to--we'll discuss that at our First Gathering Ever! (and the second one, too!)
Okay--anyone else have any great ideas to share?
Namaste, my sistas and brothas!
