I think that short term we'll need to find people who are willing contribute 
more than their share in the way of money until we reach a size that's self 
sustaining - we've already had some wonderful offers

expertise and sharing it is of course what it's all about ....

time is also going to be important - if we want to keep the workshop open to 
high school kids people will have to volunteer spend to time there - we will 
need some adult supervision - someone has to be there to say "if you're going to 
use the drill press you need to wear eye protection" as well as unlock the door

I work US pacific time hours so I can be there an afternoon or two a week as 
well as at least one evening - but my job periodically takes me out of town for 
weeks on end with little notice - as we get larger we can probably field enough 
adults to keep the place open 3-4 nights a week and maybe Saturday without any 
one person being stuck being there all the time - finding other groups to share 
the space will also mean it will be open more
