Subject: [TheThinkTank] Experience buying your own property for a
community bike project

The Fort Collins Bike Co-op is considering starting a capital fundraising
campaign to raise money toward the purchase of our own permanent location.
Like many community shops we have bounced around every couple years trying
to find inexpensive or free rent. Our present location is currently slated
for development into student housing, so our days are numbered there.
Moving and then reorganizing consumes alot of our volunteer bandwidth and
makes it more difficult for our customers to find us.

If your organization has run a fundraising campaign please share any advice
and I'll put your name on a list to contact with more specific questions as
we proceed.

Thank you in advance,
Doug Cutter
President
Fort Collins Bike Co-op
