Association of Rhode Island Authors has started a GoFundMe page to cover certain things like:
1.   Hire a firm(s) to create a state-of-the-art, interactive website to showcase members, coordinate an events sign-up and payment page, plus present timely information. Included will be a new logo with brand imaging for universal templates, signage and author collateral.
2.   Purchase podiums, microphones, tripods and recording cameras (now rented) for The Expo, monthly events, and to create permanent social media files related to writing and authors.

3.   Rent a yearly storage unit for equipment and supplies.

4.   Should this campaign accomplish its goal, occasional help will be hired to keep us in line, plus contribute funds to the annual Expo.
