Kickerstarter project
Overview
Even though we are raising funds to try and obtain a space, there are other things that would be exceptionally nice to have funds for shortly before or shortly after we move into a location. There will be assured renovations that we will want to make, as well as tools and some equipment that would be very nice to have. So what better of a way than to do a fund raiser. We are not particularly tied down to Kickstarter, but until we find something better we can make our plans and translate them to whomever we choose in the end.
Suggested Pitch
We need a suggested "about this project" explaining a little about us and explaining what exactly the people would be helping fund.
