Thank You

Every NON-Profit at some point has to decide if it is going to keep going, or if it is going to shut it's doors. That time has come for The SkyPilot Project.

When I first started The SkyPilot Project,  I had some big ideas, and some big dreams for it. The Idea that one, we could make a difference with Low-Income housing with the use of Alternative Energy Technology, and that we could help Low-Income Families and Individuals rise above and become greater with skills training and better education. However all of that takes money which we don't have, and we don't have the means to raise that money either. We are unable to meet our goals, of any kind.

We can talk, write, and pontificate about the woes of the Low-Income family all we want. However at some point there has to be action behind those words. We have to be able to back up the ideas that we have shared with action, and quite simply for US that is impossible at this time. Hopefully someone else has read about this concept and has the means to do it.

However at this time, we are just unable to continue, and as such The SkyPilot Project will be shutting down indefinitely until we can do more then just write, wish, hope, and talk.

I would like to thank everyone that has supported The SkyPilot Project. I would like to thank everyone that has taken The Time to Read our posts.

Thank You.

The SkyPilot Project in 2012

It is that time of year again where we start to make plans for the next year. The SkyPilot Project is no different, however we are going to be taking a hiatus for the next 12 months as we try to re-organize and get refocused and then see where we are going to go in the future.

It is entirely possible that This blog could be active again before that time frame expires. However It is also possible that The SkyPilot Project could just dissolve completely. We have no Funding for The SkyPilot Project. It is also very possible that this entire endeavor could be merged into another project I am working on currently. Which is more then possible at this point in time.

I had a goal, and frankly The SkyPilot Project hasn't even come close to reaching that goal. I have had life struggles that quite frankly took my focus away from The SkyPilot Project. I blame only myself for that. I blame only myself for the total failure of this project. It never got off the ground the way I would have liked for it to have gone.

I have a vision for this Project and I hope that I can see that vision to completion. However at this time. It looks as if it may just need to wait for just a little bit longer.

Thank you for all of those people that have supported us. It is appreciated, and we are grateful.

Until next time.  

Toys for Tots

It's that time of year again. It's Christmas time. This is a hard time of year for Low-Income Families as they struggle to get gifts for the kids, for themselves, for their family. It can be a pretty isolating time for a child of a Low-Income family. When most gifts for them are gifts that fulfill needs, such as clothes, and other needs.

Love Revolution

"You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world." Those are the first words to the Beatles Song Revolution. I am an admirer of the 60's and 70's protest movement. There were people back then that knew there was something wrong and they wanted to do something about it, in a peaceful manner. I am a huge fan of 60's and 70's hard rock, and when I was younger I had cassette tapes of the Original Woodstock, that I loved to listen to over and over.

It been a little quiet here.

We have been really quiet here over that The SkyPilot Project. We would like to apolgise for that. Life gets hectic, Life events happen and really Life just happens. There is only two of us running this little bloggity blog.

I’ll be completely honest. I had some events happen that took my focus away from The SkyPilot Project. Without getting into a lot of details, I had a relationship end, and I had to move back to my Home Town of Lewiston Idaho.I have been trying to get my own feet under me and I started a new blog that focuses on different subject matter. However, the quiet times are going to be getting really noisy really fast! I have a new event I would like to bring your attention to. The 1st annual Love-In. I will be republishing a post I did on my other blog to help explain it all to you.
 

Until Then We here at The SkyPilot Project hope you have a very wonderful Holiday Season!

My Fantasy of Renewal

I am a dreamer. I look at things that others might see as broken, and can see a fantastic new beginning of something else.

Renewal.

I look at big abandoned commercial buildings in that same way. I mean, they're in nearly every city. Empty buildings that were once bustling and busy, now empty remnants in an area of town no longer quite frequented, begging to become something new again. And, they can be!

Perhaps it's my own dreamy way about me, but I envision these empty shells as renovated, eco-friendly, mini-communities...in turn, reviving that part of town in to an "up and coming" or "new and trendy". Why not? Why not recycle buildings?

Ahh, the dream.

SkyPilot In Brief: Food Stamps

The most a single individual can get for Food Stamps is $200, and that is only if they have no income. So lets break that down for you, over the course of an entire month. The average month is 4 weeks. So an individual will have $50 a week for food. now break that same $50 down over the course of a week (7 days) and that leaves just $7.14 a day for meals, now you break that down over 3 meals a day and you get $2.38 per meal. That is what our federal government expects a person to survive off of each day.

So that is your pleasant thought for the day...and this has been The SkyPilot Project In Brief.
