_______________________________________________Hey Sudo!
Tonight about a dozen people met face-to-face to lay out Sudo Room’s plan help save this hackerspace and Omni Commons. Below is a summary of the situation with bulleted action items. If you want to help, just email me and say, “I’d like to help ____” and I’ll point you in the right direction.
Where we are
The Omni Commons building was bought with money from an anonymous donor who will begin foreclosure proceedings on our building unless we pay them $900k by December 1st. Sudo Room is receiving ~$1,000 per month that it pays to Omni, which is half of our obligation of $2k /mo. That $1000 comes from 49 paying members.
What we’re going to do
Money - Our target is to generate $3000 on a monthly basis by November 1st.
Ⓐ Renew or upgrade your membership. ** If all current members paid $60 /mo our financial goal would be complete. **
Ⓐ Call a current or past member from our member list to let them know what’s happening and ask them to renew or upgrade their monthly donation.
Labor - We need hands.
Ⓐ Volunteer to host/Co-host an event.
Ⓐ Make or share a piece of promotional art on Instagram.
Ⓐ Volunteer to do 4 hours of work for the Omni funding working group.
Ⓐ Volunteer to help one day with the Omni facilities and building maintenance working group
Ⓐ Volunteer to help setup, run, or clean up after a scheduled event
Influence - We’d like to call on influencers to boost Omni’s fund raiser and drive traffic to Sudo Room’s upcoming events.
Ⓐ Suggest influencers to the Sudo media working group that you think you could reach out to who might signal boost us. Do not reach out to them until you’ve talked to someone in the media working group.
This is not a comprehensive list of all you can do. But it’s a starting point. If you want to help but don’t know which of these to do, just email me and say, “I wanna help.”
