BRAIN STORMING
« Thread Started on Nov 17, 2005, 10:42am »

I don't know how I can help, but I had a few ideas about the Artrageous situation, and I have always enjoyed forums for the opportunity to get wide ranging ideas out for discussion.

I feel very sad about the situation and as I ended up living back in Scottsdale, I am not roaming the area anymore. I was in Val Vista Lakes when I was there and I heard a rumor that the residents did not have to pay the rates for room rentals. I will do my best not to tip my hand, when I check into it, but is there any resident who might (an acutal resident, not me with my expired id....) want to sponsor us? I was also thinking that they could accomodate an alliance show if we had the right contact! It is such a well known location and as it is inches from Mesa, the boundaries might be squeezed a little.

Also, as just brainstorming for meetings, Scottsdale has a church sponsoring us. In my youth, I did community theater and there was ALWAYS a room we could get for a rehearsal, it was not always the same room, and occasionally NOT the same church, but MAL is a really active and visible organization (70 chairs does not LOOK like enough... we may be bigger than that) and are any of our venues of show or the riparin reserve or any of the places we have already established connection with, available for ONE room ONE day a month?

I realize poor Cynthia is trying to back out of being a one-woman band here, and you are JUST attracting a great membership and hitting your stride as a group. I am so physically out of the area, that I could help electronically by emailing if there were a list of members and doing whatever I could from the computer in the dark hours of the evenings or pre work!

Having seen the AAA show and watching such a great effort with such dedicated artists be so overwhelmed with the uphill battle that a strong group faces, we all need to try to chip in and see what every one of us can do even if. at this point, I can only act as cheerleader!

Hey there DJ, thanks for the support! That means a great deal as well.

I have a couple of churches that might host us in line. I have solicited in one way or another about 40 locations. I am ragged but will not give up until we have a spot.

But as I mentioned, this is only a band aid. We are getting too large to bounce around from place to place. We have on the average 70-75 members at any given meeting and we need a stable environment.

Well, right now I will take whatever I can get, but these things are fleeting. We used to meet in a church before SA. We had to move because they needed the meeting time for their own groups. SA needs their floor space for furniture. We need our own space and through sponsors and donors, we will have it! Some day!
