MONEY ENVISIONED COMES FROM:
—- Swap meet revenue (sponsor-vendors and maybe a dollar per attendee)
—- paper “special editions”(sponsor-vendors and maybe a dollar per issue/edition)
Who the NASHOBA NOTE?
- people who want the local economy and themselves to navigate strength through depressions
- Workers at the NOTE in furture may become shareholders,
- Envisioned in future as each quarter the org. arbitrarily grows by 250,000 "shares" and this is equally split between all active current contributing staff. This is really extreme so needs iterating before starting doing.
Highlights:
