A thank you goes a long way for me, but the bill collectors have no care in the world of who you are or what you do...the bills must get paid.
It cost $4000 - $5000 a month (depending on the time of year) to keep the doors of Fluxx open and functioning. The summer is upon us and most local Tucsonans know this time of year can be very slow and bills tend to increase during this time. Our reserves are gone and without consistent monthly donations and use of the space were unable to keep up.
This last year has been very challenging on many levels, the loss of life, the loss of love and the loss of freedom...an old Yoruba Proverb states:
"In order to live, you must Die!"
I get it so I embrace it... my spirit is free...
We have always kept our event cost low so the space would be accessible to all, most of our classes have been donation based and even our rental fees do not compare to other venues; and you always get your monies worth at Fluxx. It's about quality not quantity.
Many of the events we host are events that the community has asked for. On many occasions we have spent tremendous amounts of time and energy, only to experience low attendance and little income generated, at those times we can't justify being here.
Fluxx has supported more than our share to other organizations, groups, businesses and individuals for little to nothing. To our disappointment there are many "leaders" in this community who have never said a thank you, dropped a note in the mail, showed support or asked how they could help...
