notes from Bushwick, AJ Muste, and next mtg +happy hour

[Lucas Shapiro]

Hey team, Below are two emails.  The first from the Bushwick guys in response to an email I sent thanking them for coming to the last happy hour and wondering if they were still interested in collaboration. The second email is from AJ Muste.  I haven't response to either of these yet, so let me know if you have any pointers/thoughts. Michelle, do you need any support with confirming folks/location for the next Happy Hour?  Any dates that might work for folks to sit down and regroup?  This Sunday works for me, either brunch or dinner time. hoping you all are well, Lucas mcnair scott
to me, Ana

hi, we've been in touch with john whitlow. thx for the connect offer. regarding collaboration --> radio silence has been due to our lack of focus on programming at the moment, and a generally overwhelmedness,  while we get other affairs in order. Its very open as to who / what / when will be programming out of the space, and there has been a lot of interest coming from different quarters. I'm down to talk programming more in the coming months when we start to prioritize this.

thanks again for reaching out and sorry for the lack of communication.

all the best,
mcnair

Hi Lucas,

Can I touch base with you either in person or via phone sometime soon? We're looking into doing a survey of prospective partners but don't want to duplicate the effort you've already put into the MSP survey.

Can we discuss ways to possibly share info, and perhaps for us to expand the reach of your survey to additional prospective partners, and then look at expanding the breadth with additional questions?

In addition to exploring the feasibility of a capital campaign to raise the money to repair the building, if we *DO* decide to try a capital campaign, we would also look to open up various sharing/partnering opportunities in our building in the short term, pre-renovation.

Would love to discuss with you and/or other key MSP folks.

Can we arrange a meeting?

Thanks!
Jane

Hey guys.

I wanted to double-back on this email that I sent out earlier (see below). Could someone take the lead on finding a good time for us to meet up again?

Also, given the state of affairs at FUREE, we're needing to do some serious grassroots fundraising so we can support Valery and ensure the organization's survival (check my FB wall for details).

Michelle, could we maybe consider having the next happy hour double as an event for FUREE? We could even keep it simple and do it at Cherry Tree. Doesn't have to require donation, but have a pitch and maybe a giant get-well card that folks can sign for Val.

Are folks open to that?
We could always do something with the Radical Social Workers or ROC soon down the road.
We're getting tons of offers for support, and it would be rad to ask folks to tap their networks to invite friends to the event.

Hey folks, sorry for being out of the loop - work's been really hectic.

I think under the circumstances it would definitely make sense to partner with FUREE for the next happy hour. Michelle, are you OK with that?

Lucas, you'd suggested Sunday afternoon or evening - I can make either time. Sharon, what about you?

Thanks michele. If its cool, can we hold off on sending out invites? I need to confirm some messaging/logistics with folks on our end at FUREE before we invite the extended community.

Sharon and Lara, I am available today at mine between 2 and 7pm. If yall want to link up, let's coordinate times soon.

xx
Lucas
