I asked for my community to support the creation of a nonprofit creative reuse center.

What did you ask for?: I asked for my community to support the creation of a nonprofit creative reuse center.

What did you receive? : A hard-working board of directors to help make it a reality; crucial assistance from my local Small Business Development Center; "spread the word" help from my fellow waste diversion entities.

How did you feel? Did you believe it was already there? Did you allow it to show up? : Perennially optimistic that a great idea with proven success in other towns would succeed in my town with our hard work. And it did!
