One last check. To date, I have received only 3 responses for the proposed
Artisan's Asylum tour next week. If you have not responded yet and are
interested in attending, please submit your availability by 5:00pm today via
the following:

I will get back to everyone later today with the final decision.
Thanks!

Team,
Just got word back from the Artisan's Asylum folks. They
have provided several days and times for the first week in May. Please
connect to the following Doodle schedule and fill in your availability:
http://www.doodle.com/kurkf2c9pgwegsgg
We most likely won't be able to accommodate everyone's
schedule. As such, we will go with the day and time that works best.
Thanks!

Subject: RE: Sandbox Incubator Real Estate
Team
Hi All,
To kick things off for the Sandbox Real
Estate Team, let's target later this week for a brief, face-to-face meeting.
Main agenda item is to get everyone updated on the broader incubator (now
referred to IdeaLaunch) plans and the more specific role / responsibilities
of our real estate team. Location most likely the Sandbox offices at
Wannalancit Mills in Lowell.
I've proposed several days / dates via the
Doodle site. Please connect and fill in your availability as soon as
possible at the following link:
http://www.doodle.com/mv48n5kiqptag2zh
I hope we can nail down a day and time that
works for everyone. We'll go with the one that works best.
As referenced in my email last week, we are
also working to coordinate a visit to the Artisan Asylum down in Somerville.
To make it easier on everyone, we won't try to squeeze it in later this
week. Instead, I am trying to determine ~3 - 4 days (along with times) that
would work for the 1st week of May. I'm hoping to get these out to all of
you later today or tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Let me know if you have any questions /
suggestions / comments/
Thanks!
--Tom

I received 4 responses to the Doodle survey re: proposed date for our first
team meeting this week. Based on the responses, there was very little
overlap on availability. So no meeting this week. We'll shoot for next
week. I will be sending out a new Doodle survey request for proposed dates
and times next week. In the meantime, please send me your preferences on
what day(s) of week and time(s) of day work best for you.
Regarding our proposed trip to Artisans Asylum (AA) in Somerville this
Thursday, there were only two people (Raj and myself) available. Given the
level of interest (i.e., most people would like to attend), let's postpone
this visit a bit as well. I will check with the team at AA to see when they
are available in the coming week or so. Will set up a Doodle survey for
this as well.
Special request. Please give some thought to potential locations in both
Lowell and Lawrence suitable for our upcoming Sandbox pitch contests.
General requirements include seating capacity for ~200 - 225 people
(minimum), stage / podium for speakers / presenters, good acoustics / sound
system / audiovisual, space for refreshments, etc. It's not a requirement,
but it would be good if the proposed locations / facilities could also be
used longer term to house our proposed incubator / accelerator. We will
discuss this in more detail at our first meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions / comments / suggestions.
Thanks!
--Tom
P.S. I will also be setting up a Google group for our team. Look for
emails on this in the coming day or two.

Hi All,
As referenced in one of David's earlier
emails, I'm the designated lead for the Sandbox Incubator Real Estate team.
The current members on the team are as follows:
Tom O'Donnell - Lead
Bobby Tugbiyele
Ed Walsh
Franky Descoteaux
Gary Sidell
Marianne Paley
Our first order of business is to get
together in the coming week or so to synch up so that everyone has a clear
understanding of our shared mission. We also need to develop a team plan
for accomplishing our objectives. To help select the best day / time for
everyone, please go the following link and put in the dates / times that
work for you:
http://www.doodle.com/qqzv9tb6bgyddpmi
We are also working to schedule a visit to
the Artisan Asylum in Somerville, a non-profit, community craft studio. For
more info, check out the following:
http://artisansasylum.com/?page_id=215
I spoke with Molly Rubenstein, Director of
Operations, earlier today. She mentioned that next Thursday, 4/5/2012,
would be a perfect day to come by anytime between 1:00 - 5:00pm. Please let
me know if this day works for you. We'll target a 2:00pm...with the
flexibility to move it around a bit if needed. If this does not work, then
we'll push to the following week.
Looking forward to working with everyone.
And call me anytime with questions / comments.
Thanks!
--Tom
