New support poll at right

Check out our pledge-o-meter to see impressive support for saving the Roosevelt Market.
Hey Neighbors:
Things are moving along and we're busily assessing various options for securing the home of the Roosevelt Market as a permanent neighborhood asset. We need to estimate the amount of potential support.

There is a simple poll at right that lets you indicate an amount you could and would realistically contribute. While this is not a commitment (and we don't know who you are), please be realistic. Imagine how much the market is worth to you personally and what you are willing and able to contribute if we can put together a way to purchase the building.

Please note: for the purposes of this poll, consider what you would donate. Be honest and vote only once so we have a clear picture.

Thanks to all the generous folks who have offered to help so far. You are what make this neighborhood great!

Our aim is to place the land and building in a permanent neighborhood trust, not to pursue personal financial gain. We envision a future where locals can fly over on their jet packs and schmooze their neighbors...maybe get a soft-serve ice cream or a freshly baked sweet roll and pick out a nice bottle of local wine. It's a legacy thing, not a personal enrichment thing.
