Donner Creek Project

Thanks for taking the time to speak with me.  I have just gotten done with 17 days in a row where I transitioned from one new job to another --  I am now an appliance repair technician.  Wahoo -- getting a trade at 52!

I loved your ideas about the Donner Creek Project and "The House Keepers Inn".  Would you be willing to meet with me and help format a questionnaire to begin the conversation in a more structured way than I have been able to do so far.  And to help to learn about the dreams, goals, and needs of the people of Donner Creek Community.  I was also wondering if Flashvote might be willing to make an "in kind donation" and host the Donner Creek Project's miniscule database on your robust system -- allowing us to utilize the self governance tools you have created?  As an added benefit it will look great in your next Prospectus or in your Investor's Newsletter.

The Donner Creek Project is an endeavor of "Social Entrepreneurship".   While getting my Master's at Yale, I was given the great pleasure of being a student of, and mentored by, Bill Drayton of the Ashoka Foundation.  This project is in a large part inspired by his work. 

The Donner Creek Project and the proposed development project with the working title of "The Housekeepers' Inn" will have a continuous legacy impact on a range of social challenges from teen pregnant, to minority voter registration, to drug/child/spousal abuse, to the elimination of poverty and hunger.  I know this sounds like an "almost too good to be true" outcome, but this is what is possible with the kind of systems thinking solution that "The House Keepers' Inn" will be.  At very least, this will be a bold initiative allowing the opportunity, but not the guarantee, for significant capital accumulation by the historically indigenous people of the Americas who have lived in this community for multiple generations in the instance of people from Central and South America; but plans also include the inclusion of the Tel Mel Ti Band of the Wa She Shu (Washoe) people, an Ancestral Technology Village, and a historically accurate Tel Mel Ti Village as a tourist destination activity run by historically indigenous local people.

Do you think there may be a group of Digerati and friends in the area who would be willing to help launch this project?  After all, this will be a full on resort development with the best people hired in IT, Marketing, Health and Spa Services, Accounting, and all other aspects of Hospitality and Dining; and, non-historically indigenous individuals need not be limited to strictly altruistic motives for getting involved.  In addition to the advise and inspiration of Mr. Drayton,  The Donner Creek Project has also gotten the advice and inspiration of Elliot Aronson and we will be striving to implement the lessons learned from the Jigsaw Classroom to an economic structure.   This will be an experiment in Reciprocal Altuism and the sharing mechanisms pioneer by Vampire Bats and Honey Bees

While from a public relations perspective we will be highlighting the benefits of the project to the under-served communities of historically indigenous people, our primary goal will be an integrated community with the largest functional alliance of diversity as possible -- not merely ethnicity but sexual orientation, socio-economic gradients, educational experience, and political thought.  In diversity will be our strength.

Thank you for your consideration,

Michael Rogers
