hi Anibal, we are closing on the 15th of May.   the thirty grand we are raising is only a down payment.  Anything you send our way will help thanks is advance jim P.S. what  I would like is to establish a fund  that helps shops buy buildings if we all placed $5000 a year into a fund that is sent to one of us each year then we could get a lot of property funded over time.   i see something like a contest or award presented at Bike Bike each year.   of course we will need to work out details and procedures concerning this sort of arrangement.    --- On Thu, 4/26/12, Anibal Davila <info@bikesauce.org> wrote: From: Anibal Davila <info@bikesauce.org> Subject: Re: [TheThinkTank] Bicycle Kitchen/ La Bici Cocina (Los Angeles) is buying a building To: "james blesdoe" <jamesbleds0e@yahoo.com> Date: Thursday, April 26, 2012, 2:03 PM hi james, i had a closer look at your website and realized that you are still raising funds, how important is the two day time line you've posted on your website? I ask because I would like to have 'Sauce raise $500 for you guys. The bicy cocina was a big inspiration for me when i set out to start bikeSauce two years ago, and owning our own building is one of my biggest ambitions for the organization. I want to point to bike kitchen and say that if they can do it, we can do it too.  So... how pressing is the timeline?
