Moving In, That is...
Call to Action~ Can You Help?
I Need Donations to Outfit my Temporary Office Now!
It's been a busy month already and it's only June 12th! I am officially into my pre-launch office space. Translation: I have the keys and 900 square feet of empty space to fill...
Ready to Donate Your DeCluttered Stuff?
I am ready to start accepting donations of your clutter for repurposing, trash-to-treasure creations, revitalized furniture (depending on size) and the like. Just email me or call to ask questions and set up a time to bring your stuff by and to confirm that what you have is what I need! No rush on the crafting materials, though I can take it if you have already "decluttered."
First things first, I need some basics to make this temporary office space function in the way I intend. I need tables, chairs, shelves, bookcases. My main functions, for now, will be creating the business plan, securing initial funding (even social entrepreneurs need seed funding!), organizing clutter into worthwhile project materials and planning my space... Think creatively ~ I can repurpose things to suit my needs. For example, I'll take old doors and use them as table tops. Old chairs can be used as printer stands. Planks and books can be used to create temporary shelving.
Want to Have Fun While Helping Out?
"Treasure Hunters" Needed - Check CraigsList. com under their FREE listings and/or Freecycle.org for items that suit our needs... Act quickly to contact the person posting the item as they do go FAST... Once you confirm that it is being held, we can ask a Pick-Up Artist to grab the goods and deliver them to the temporary office.
"Pick-Up Artists" Needed - Let me know if you are willing to pick up items that are close to your home or your commute to work - just name the towns and give me your cellphone number and email address. If something comes up in your area that we can get dibs on, I'll be in touch to see if you can pick it up!
Let me know if you are interested or need clarification before you agree to anything!

The Founding Board of Directors:
Help with my Treasurer Search!
I am almost done convening my founding Board of Directors. You can look forward to that announcement in the July Pre-Launch Update...
Right now, I am still searching for the right person to serve in the all-important role of Treasurer. Ideally, I'd like to name someone to the position who is an accountant with either knowledge of, or an interest in learning about, non-profit accounting. If you've been getting my updates since the beginning of my announcements, you know I'm looking for a WIN-WIN situation in all that I do. Consequently, I would like to appoint a Treasurer who will be able to meet a personal desire to add community service to their own business resume while enjoying the challenge and the chance to contribute to my meaningful undertaking.
Do you know of a North Shore accountant who shares my general values and who might be interested in contributing to my efforts to create a successful triple-bottom-line enterprise?* If so, please consider sharing this information with him or her and/or introducing us so that I can fill this important role with just the right person.
*Remember, that's a values-driven, financially-self-sustaining business working toward both a social and an environmental mission. | |

When It's All For Good..
It's All Good!
One of my guiding principles is that people will feel good about their involvement in my venture, whatever the level. People can give of their time, skills, clutter (and even the m word - $) to varying degrees, which change in time, depending on where people are in their lives, emotionally, financially and physically. And, that's okay. In fact, that's life.
Whether you spend 5 minutes a month checking out what's up with my venture online andforwarding my updates to interested contacts in your email address book, or 5 hours DeCluttering for Good in your home and donating some of your found treasure to my venture (as well as to others in need) or 5 days working on your own trash-to- treasure project in my planned work space... It's all good.
Whether you spend $5 to buy a pair of Upcycled Earrings made from doll accessories, $50 on a one-of-a-kind work of art made by one of our "artist members," $500 to buy a lifetime charter membership, or $5000 to be a corporate sponsor... It's all good...
The last thing I want to do is add to anyone's stress or guilt ~ there's more than enough of both of those essentially unproductive emotions in most lives (certainly in mine!). So, check all that at the door and know that your time spent at my place is to be guilt-free, forward-thinking and positive!
No Regrets. No Worries.
Getting Involved to the
Extent You Choose.
With a Focus on Helping Others and the Environment.
At the Same Time, Helping Yourself to Lead Your Best Life by Increasing Your Self Awareness and Making Meaningful Choices.
That's Time Well Spent...
