This is a good idea--although we've identified permie pocketbooks as a
limiting resource. But, sure. And membership dues or similar are all
possibilities. Makes ya wonder how the Oddfellows and Masons get such
gorgeous meeting halls in nearly every town.
Here's a relevant story: I'm teaching a 9-month Eco-landscaper training with
brilliant local designer Erik Ohlsen and others. We have an outdoor classroom
that has needs improvement, so we gave the course participants the task of
designing a better classroom. Erik gave them $2000 as a budget for the room.
During the multi-group design charette, one of the students said, "Why don't
take that $2000, hire a fund-raise with it, and have them raise $50,000 for a
really good classroom?"
A beautiful leap to a higher design level.
