Friends Of The OutPost
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
October 10, 2000
In
the last week and some days, as we proceed with the fundraising activities, a
lot of people have asked a lot of questions – some in person to me, and some
in e-mails being spread around the community.
This is why I decided to start this FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
summary, and continue it on throughout our efforts to Save The Outpost.

Q.
Sharon
and Stan will get this money, use it to pay their bills, and then close the
business anyway.
A.
Sharon
and Stan have no control over the money that is being raised.
I do. Sharon’s
daughter Stephanie, who has been managing the finances for the place for the
last few months is also on the account as a co-signer, but that is simply to
assure that in the event I am unable to continue on, we have a trusted
representative to distribute our funds.
Q.
The
City of Webster is trying to close the bar down, given that the new expansion of
NASA Road One makes them “pr
ime property.”
A.
I
have no indication that that is the case. The
Fire Marshall, Mark Baker, has been cooperative in helping in resolving this
problem. As was written in the
summation of our problems – it simply costs a lot to make this happen.
We’ve been working to help get those costs down in order to address the
other infrastructure problems we need to look at.
Mr. Baker has been most helpful in directing us where we need to go, and
what we need to do.
Q.
Some
people will be able to give a lot of money, some less.
Does this mean that the owners will view us differently whenever we come
into the place because we give less than someone else?
A.
The
owners will know nothing of the amount of your contribution.
Only me. The only thing that
I will give to them is a list of the people who cared enough to help.
Q.
What
if the fundraising goes over the target amount?
A.
Every
penny raised goes into the infrastructure that makes the OutPost work.
First the grill, second the bathrooms, and from then, we
will have another community meeting to discuss and address the concerns that the
community has. If we are successful
at raising the money needed to achieve our immediate goals, then we will have a
fund available to assure that we can meet future needs.
We have to face the fact that it is an old building, and it does need
attention.
