Do you care? I mean do you really care?

You know that a place like The Cottage is needed! We have been offering something special, something you cannot get anywhere else. Knowledge and services at a price you can afford, in areas to which you know is important.

We have offered and covered many different aspects of both the “on the edge” and “mainstream “ways of thinking.

If you want something then you have to support it! Not only in thought and feelings, but in the effort to keep the doors open!

How many of you have walked into the retail store? Or how many of you have attended a presentation other than just to see your friend? Have you given yourself of the opportunity to stretch your knowledge?

It’s a harsh reality, that money is needed to pay rent; the professionals have done their presentations for next to nothing, giving you information, knowledge the background and history, they have taken the time to answer your questions and led you down many paths.

These are changing times indeed; the door has swung open for the mind and soul to receive many things, one thing that never changes is the need to pay the bills! There are some options we can take: one is to raise the cost of the meetings which goes against our mission statement of giving the information at the lowest cost we can, another is instituting a membership fee to belong to the group, of course we would offer a discount in the retail store and a cost break on the meetings.

Are we asking for donations? Yes! We are not a non-profit company you will get no tax break, but what you will get is “your” place a place you fit into and works for you.

Instead of donations you can attended the classes and presentations we are holding! Bear in mind the rent for the conference room is $40 an hour, most if not all the professionals teach as part of their income.

Then again maybe you don’t think it is your responsibility to help? And that’s fine also, The Cottage can just fade away like so many other places, and you can go on your merry way and complain that there is no place for you to go. Now that would be a shame now wouldn’t it?
