and Warren got together for about an hour to discuss the
idea. Bill's heart condition and car made it difficult
to rescue large items, but Bill had salvaged pictures,
small appliances, chairs and many other household items.
Bill had already made several hundred dollars selling
items to friends. In the discussion Bill mentioned a need
for money by the church Bill attended. Bill also talked
about a friend who had a big barn. Bill had an interest
in blue grass music and had actually developed several
blue grass festivals.
Warren
made several suggestions: (1) Contact the church to develop
a source of labor and people who had a truck. Their volunteer
effort could be used to generate funds for the church.
(2) Talk to the friend about using the barn to store items
salvaged. (3) Consider developing a festival as a fund
raising event to launch the project. We scheduled a time
to get together again to evaluate progress. No charge
for the first meeting, this time. That
probably was a mistake.
