Getting it on the Ground...

Hello friends and family,


Here are a few small details that need to be relayed...









1. I have contacted our man, William Gomez about the possibility of a longer term lease and asked for a clarification on the amount of acreage that comes with the house.

• A longer Lease term can be negotiated when we get there, but William believes that we won't have any trouble convincing the owner to extend the lease to 3 or 4 years. One of our members asked about the possibility of adding an option to buy at the end of the lease... We will have our lawyer look into it.
• The house is in need of repair. It has a little more than 1/2 an acre of land to use. This wold be a problem but it seems that there is enough adjacent farm land that can also be leased for extended periods of time.

2. Money... I have a little. I try to fund everything on my own. It doesn't work very well as I don't earn much of it. Doesn't it always come back money. I strongly dislike the money part of doing this kind of thing but as you know... it is our physical connection to this world.

• That said... We are a volunteer organization with no fund raising campaigns or deep pockets to pull from.

• If you can help please do so. We need $2400 to break even by June 19th but we are working on it.

Sorry that I had to mention money.


3. When we get the property leased we will need someone to lead a work team. Please consider the prospect of getting involved at the ground level.

Thanks for being a part of this,
