ESTABLISHING A KALAMAZOO AREA RESOURCE CENTER

The first resource center was established long before the Internet between 1975 - 1980 at the Guild of Alternative Artists in Detroit, Michigan. We'd like another chance to manifest this for the Kalamazoo Area with your help, support and passionate cooperation.

Over the last ten years we've built a powerful "Resource Center 3.0" platform and business model to support local and regional development of resource centers for communications and networking, interdependence and economic self–reliance, and we'd like to offer this opportunity to the entire Michigan community.

This platform is more advanced than Facebook and focused on building and strengthening community locally. But our company doesn't have the market capitalization of Facebook so we'll require our partners, advertisers and sponsors to make a financial commitment to be able to support this development. There is no time more critical than right now!

So we're looking for the first twelve "Associate" partners ($48/month), the first 24 "Business" partners ($24/month) and the first 100 "Community" partners ($12/month) to make this feasible ASAP.

If we can get enough financial commitments we'll come back in three months and facilitate the Kalamazoo Area Resource Center regional resource center development and turn it over to a local ORGANIZING TEAM to operate.

That's our current vision and proposal for building and deploying these worldwide.
