Finding Resources - There is Help Along the Way

2/19/2021

Things are moving along, and I am starting be discover some of the incredible resources available to the Community House Network.  It seems that there are many corporations that are happy to participate in donating goods to a community non-profit.  So far each of the building supply stores we contacted, had things in place to allow them to donate materials for good causes.  I am excited because up to this point I have been paying out of pocket for all of the art materials and building supplies we have used at the Art Garage.  I am so grateful to Dayna Crocker for helping me realize that help and kindness abounds.

This March we are starting our lecture series called "If I Knew Then".  Rather than lectures, these will be more like interviews in an open forum where small business owners will share about their experiences opening up a business.  I was sharing this idea with a friend Theresa Bloom who as it turns out works for an organization affiliated with Bradley University, ILSBDC, supporting small business start-ups.

Here is a link to register for their services https://ilsbdc.ecenterdirect.com/info

I am curious to know more, and when I registered for their services, I saw that their upcoming informational support meeting was to be hosted exactly during the hours of our monthly open board meeting.  Well why not?  So I have put on the agenda that we as a board attend the meeting.  I hope everyone can make it.  What a great way to expand our circle of knowledge.

I am grateful for those who are participating and helping realize this dream.  My hope is that by sharing some of these resources and experiences, others will have an easier road ahead.  I know how much I appreciate those who have shown up thus far to help direct me. 

Prayer for the day: May I always remain open and teachable.
