Hey guys,

As you might know, we’re about to start developing a brand new WE-HG in the inner-city where young people can chill out.

In fact if you want a place where:
- your band can practice
- you can record music
- you can learn to DJ and practice your DJ skills
- you can find all about podcasting
- you can simply chill out in the inner city with FREE internet
… then read on….

Of course, the main thing is we need everyone’s help, because building this new venue is going to take a wee bit of money. The good news is we have a number of companies coming on board already to help us - which is really great!

So here’s how YOU can help us and also go in the draw to win a brand new Apple iPod Touch 8GB - if you have parents or family members that own a business, then we want to invite them to come along to a “Business Marketing Seminar” so that they can learn how to grow their business.

>>>All you need to do is fill in this form - that’s all!<<<

We will send them an email letting them know more about the seminar on the 22nd May. All the money collected from the ticket sales for this seminar is going to help us build your new venue. Pretty sweet eh?

Another way you can help out is to call our brand spanking new 0900 number - 0900 WEHELP (0900 934357) - and an instant $25 donation will be made

Or simply a donation via Paypal >> http://we.org.nz/help-us

Any help you can give us today will ensure we can build this new space quicker and better!

Thanks in advance

Been talking some more with MCD Architects and they are 95% through the plans, just a couple of engineers to talk to and we’ll have our plans submitted to CCC for building consent. So I guess we’re getting to a critical stage where we’ll be starting the exciting task of DEMOLITION and then moving onto construction. Anthony Wheeler has got the draft plans into Placemakers who are costing up the construction bits of it all. Once we’ve got those back we’ll have an idea of what we don’t have lined up. One of the big things we don’t know anyone in the industry is the air conditioning, so if you know someone in the aircon industry refer them onto our website!

On the fundraising side of things, we’ll be rolling out a bunch of iniatives over the next few weeks including an 0900 number for donations, a White Elephant Sale (sounds pretty obvious, why didn’t we do this earlier??) And taking on an idea of one of the founding Trustees Tom Cosm where we’ll be auctioning off space on each of our doors where your name can be forever engraved on that door! More details to come….

***WE-HQ OPEN NIGHT***

We’ll be running an open night on Tuesday 24th March 6:00pm for anyone who wants to drop in and check out what we’re up to with the plans and see the space in its current form. All welcome, bring your friends!!

We’ve also changed our weekly WE-HQ development meetings to Tuesdays 6pm @ WE-HQ (L1, 1 Bedford Row), so if you’re reading this and have something you’d like to contribute to our meeting in any way then pop on by!
