rebuild our starlite
Just spoke with the 'rebuild our starlite foundation' woman, carla. she had contacted a group called "timeless cruisers" to see if they'd display their cars one sunday afternoon, but her vision wasn't really a full-fledged car show.
she sounds pretty overwhelmed. i'm going to meet with her wednesday evening.
she told me that there's no power to the main building at this time, because all power ran through the screen. In fact, bob's mobile home, which is on the starlite lot, had to be rewired with its own utility pole put in, so he could get power to his house. it's a mess.
she thinks her avon fundraiser will probably raise about $25k of the $50k that is needed in all-- but that $25k will have to cover any expenses that are incurred in the fundraising, including i think paying the people who work there while there's no money coming in to support them.
they are looking at the second saturday in september as a possible community cleanup day, and the second or third sunday in september as a possible day for a car show. that wouldn't be enough time to do a car show the way i was thinking of it but the display-only thing that she was thinking of could possibly be arranged by then. we'll see.
i think those folks can use all the help they can get.
