Motion to Amend the Alternate ROOTS By Laws
The Executive Committee of Alternate ROOTS proposes to make the following amendment to the By Laws:
Motion to Amend the ROOTS By Laws from
ARTICLE IV. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Rent our Technology: making the technology ROOTs has developed available to the system.
So this is a hunch, but it's an educated one. The technology that was recently created for ROOTS (integrated website, membership, registration, directory and development systems) might be something that could potentially be very valuable to other organizations. If this is true for you, read on.
It would be in the best interests of an organization with a mission like ROOTS to facilitate that technology becoming available cost effectively to ROOTS organizations.
There are a couple of different scenarios and business models that would support something like that.

Jo Carson, a founding member of Alternate ROOTS, is in the midst of a pitched battle with colon cancer.
Jo has been a self-supporting artist for more than 30 years. Since quality, affordable health insurance is extremely difficult for independent artists to obtain, the insurance coverage Jo has is utterly insufficient to her current need – her policy will cover her surgery, but not the extensive chemotherapy and radiation she is currently under-going.You can help by making a donation through ROOTS to Jo's Medical Expenses Campaign.

Presenting 101
Alternate ROOTS and the Southern Arts Federation collaborated to bring Nick Slie and Hope Clark together to lead two workshops on Presenting 101; one at the ROOTS Annual Meeting in August, and another in September at the Performing Arts Exchange (PAE) Conference in Norfolk, VA. What did you say your name was???
by Sarah dAngeloColumbus Day, Indians and public protests. The thrill of a modern day uprising. It’s the only day of the year when we can gather in droves in front of state and federal municipalities and release the voice of the grandfather drum without fear of tear gas, bullets or arrest. It’s a public performance that puts the best of Boal to shame. At the end of the day, everyone goes home in one piece, happy there were no scalps lost or taken, no arrows or bullets fired, no wagons burned. It is a true non-violent, intercultural exchange. Times have changed.

Donate Air Miles to ROOTS
Hello ROOTERS,
If you attended the Annual Meeting, you may remember that among other suggestions that could help ROOTS, we suggested that members could donate frequent flyer miles. This would allow us to do the necessary travel to raise funds for programs and services, and save money in our budget!
Please contact us at the office if you or someone you know has extra miles you'd like to share:
Keryl McCord, Managing Director, keryl@alternateroots.org, 404-577-1079
Thanks for your continued support.
