Home found (we think)

I think we found our home. It is in SE Portland and it is a great building that was a school before, so all we will have to do to it is put in new paint and carpet and furnish it. The landlords have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit in order for us to occupy the space, but everyone anticipates this happening without a hitch. So we are almost there!

Update on marketing fundraising - we have raised almost all the funding we need to fund our marketing/branding/new identity. This is very exciting. It is amazing to me that we did that, out of thin air it seems that we were able to raise $36000 and we only need an additional $4800 to make this happen. It isn't out of no where though, it is actually due to several key people and their super hard work. I am only responsible for a very small portion, but it feels good to be able to have come up with something. Anyone feel compelled to chip in to cover our gap? With the money we will be able to get our marketing and piece in place. Then we will have both key pieces that we need to start our major fundraising to open the school for the fall of 2010. Still on schedule - 8 months to go.
