[SML] [EXTERNAL] Re: Workarounds

[Ford Sellers]

Hi Maia,
Can you please send details of the Grant you got from National Grid?
What was the process for getting the grant, what did it cover, etc.

This is super useful information, and… I suspect that there may be a few of us with some extra time that we could use to put together Grant proposals.

Thanks,
-Ford

Unfortunately, we can't donate the old units because the grant from National grid requires us to prove that we have taken them off the grid permanently. So we will be taking them apart, scrapping the steel, copper, aluminum etc.  The glass will end up in the dumpster.

We do have a rather large collection of 1Kw, PAR 64 bulbs in various flavors that could disappear if there were someone who might need them.

And we'll end up with lots of C-clamps & safety cables that could get donated, along with a significant amount of stage pin cable.

What are the plans for the old fixtures?  I work with various school and community groups. I take in fixtures, and issue letters of donations for tax and book keeping purposes.  Then I look them over and drop off at facilities to add to their stock. Usually an upgrade, but also gives them some flexibility to add specials and fill lights to improve their space. In this time of budget cuts and needing to make it work for the smaller venues, it is important to help where we can.

So how old are the "old" units?  Asking for a friend. :D
