This Saturday, August 8th at 5pm we will be at FEAST hosting a table in McGolrick Park/Church of the Messiah on Russell Street in Greenpoint. We invite you and your friends and family can come and help us brainstorm about what should be on our paper money. FEAST is a great event that encourages you to be an art benefactor by paying a sliding scale entry fee for dinner and a ballot. The ballot is for you to vote for the proposal of your choosing. It should be fun, and we’re looking forward to meeting you and seeing your ideas!
Diana and I have been meeting at Rabbithole for a few months to figure out our next steps. You can hope to hear...
As a resident of the area,I noticed because we live in theprojects we are not informed or aware of such activities..But may I participate now or is it too late? I would like to see a design of an airplane pulling a banner of a kielbasa over a topographical view or picture of Williamsburg / Greenpoint Area. Also a upc coded
for non-duplication with a Picture of the Brooklyn Torch with the Polish Credit union Bank on the background. where a decal is made of the Brooklyn Torch that is issued to participating stores. Where there is a decal people would know the paper money is accepted. there should be denominatios of every level including as paper change in cents,nickels, dimes,quarters. Mcdonalds and fast food restaurant should participate, car services including church donations and local gas stations. The Polish Cred Bank should be the one who will reserve the Money.
I’m a local business owner interesting in becoming part of the program, but will have to know what other businesses will also exchange goods and services for Torches before committing to accepting the currency. Please get in touch if you want my thoughts on local business participation!!
Sounds good!
