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.

Many ROOTS members are not writers as their first discipline, but we communicate every day through email, proposals, etc. Please take a few minutes to review the most frequent violations of the English language spotted in ROOTS communiqués.

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. Please click here to make that important contribution.

Columbus 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.
Thanks for your continued support.
One Web Day: NOLA!
One Web Day is simple: a bunch of geeks going out into the world in a week of volunteering, idea exchange and service.
It's a time for people who work in technology to get back in touch with their communities and make a difference.
This year jellobrain.com and friends are going to be focusing in New Orleans between September 21st - 27th.
