A successful public forum was held
on January 9 - stay-tuned for more updates as we make progress towards
bringing a community owned store to Saranac Lake.
A small fundraising committee has been formed to help raise 'seed
money' (or start up money) for this exciting project. $2500 is needed
immediately to pay for incorporation filing fees (projected to run us
about $700) and the purchase of a corporate kit, including stock
certificates (an estimated $1300 - $1800.) They have $700 in hand
and pledges of another $300.

December 2006
The
business
plan for the Community Store project is just days away from being
finalized and we are now at a point where we can use your help. First
of all, we are forming a fundraising committee to help generate
donations to cover the store's initial expenses (ie. printing, early
legal fees, etc.) If you are interested, please email Melinda at: Melinda@community-store.org.
The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for January 11th at 7 pm,
location TBD.
