seeking Funds-

Post by Greg » Sun Jan 16, 2011 1:39 pm

Att: Kiters-
The down season is a good time for building/maintaining toys-

The current plan is to pull the slider and kicker out of the water for maintaince next weekend.
Some damage repair, re-paint, storage costs/expences have to be paid- Any help with $ or labor would be great!

Also I've collected some interesting scrape metal for a new project, anyone interested in SUPPORTING my ambition(s) please contact me directly-

This year I'd like to set up an insurance plan for the Kite Park, anyone interested/knowledgable in Business Planning wanting to help us out would be great!

Have FUN!!!
L.M.G.

yes- wouldn't that be AWESOME-

One main hurdle we have to getting funding like that is having insurance so they are protected- (I guess)
Anyway we have no money, but some of us have time so lets fix what we can and build on if possable.

As I rode the creations I feel it would be most responsible to give back some love. I'm still in

I guess the question is do you have a business already for this because setting up business for this kind of thing will cost you serious money. also with annual fees starting at $800 just to keep your business license.
Also what insurance is it that's needed for this kind of project? All you need to do is protect yourself by having non liability waiver. The kiter out there already has his own insurance that covers him for whatever might happen to him.
You don't insure anything twice that's just throwing money in the water.

about time to admit defeat, it's OK- (the idea sucks)

I've listed the radio tower for sale, no calls yet but I'm most likely going to scrape this adventure- If no-one buys the tower I'll give it away.

Sorry I can't afford to float this idea any longer, Thankfully plane tickets are CHEAP so we can fly to N.C. or the Gorge for that kind of fun-


LOOKING on the BRIGHT SIDE, slack lining is pretty FUN and costs NOTHING since I already have the rope, I'll set that up for the kids summer challenge. (it's actually VERY FUN)


Take care, G'

Steffans-
My fund raising attempts were always hindered by our LACK of any INSURANCE for investors- Yes, your right- in todays world just being in business is expensive.
Have Fun!!

G, I am already paying all these business fees running Windydevil LLC so suggesting funding can run through this LLC and the insurance issue for investors can be a thing of the past.
