Well if your project is about trust, shouldn't i trust you before I take part in the project? Your email was rather scattered... from what i understand you're fundraising for something which must remain anonymous, but first you're "building community" to (perhaps) achieve this fundraising? I'm not sure where we, your "friends" or people that you know, come in to play. And frankly, I can't just have my identity up for grabs. I have a few people that i have to answer to and a few people that I have to represent, so i need to make sure this isn't something strange...
But moreover, i'm not sure that you really understand what "community" means. It means a lot to me, and from what i know of you, i'm not sure it means the same thing. From what i know, you don't volunteer, you're not active in the community, you didn't even vote. You didn't tell us (who you emailed) what community meant to you.
So, basically, i would gladly help you if i knew your intentions were good. And if i feel that you really know what community means. But i figured, with your billions of friends, you probably didn't need me to help you anyway, so i shouldn't bother to explain to you the information i'd like before participating.
If you need the help, let me know a whatever you can about the project. I'm not sure if you're sincere, or if you really are building community, if you even need to be sincere or not (eg- if you weren't sincere, but i felt the project really helped to build community, i would participate anyway). but really, i applied to grad schools with "community development" programs. so this is more than just a buzzword to me, and i think anyone that had "community development" in mind would ask you a few more questions before they agreed to participate.
and you're the difficult one.
our last orchesis show is march 24th and 25th, if you care to see it.
