Greetings omninoms!
For those not yet aware, Omni intends to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Sunday to raise funds toward renovating the commercial kitchen in the basement!
We need ALL HANDS ON DECK to help spread the word. In particular:
- reach out directly to folks in your networks who you think would donate, and ask them if they could contribute when the campaign launches. pre-pledges help ensure successful campaigns. here's some sample text you can use (tx be to julian!)
- do you have any press contacts you could tap? we are drafting a press release to be published on Monday after our soft 'community launch' and have zilch lined up so far
- can you or your group offer (and follow through on) a perk/reward for certain donation levels? get in touch!
- when we launch on sunday, help spread the word by sharing, retweeting, and sending to any and all relevant mailing lists!
- do you have a spare hour or two to help with social media, press outreach, door-to-door flyering, graphic design (eg, a facebook cover image people could use?), making a short video or blog post, organizing an event, etc? join the kitchen working group mailing list and/or attend the next meeting - Wednesdays at 6pm in the Basement Library!

Given the holiday season, the extensive burdens on every activist's energy these days, and a host of other complexities and circumstances, we've decided to break up the campaign into 3 phases.
For this first phase, our goal is to raise $15,000 - which will enable us to pull the permits, demo the walls for expansion of the area, and get most if not all of our plumbing work done.
