For the SKIP book kickstarter, we're going to try something nifty.  Once you get to the levels involving 6 or more books, we introduce the Give Away Committee!    oooh   aaah   wow    what's that?

Let's say you love everything about the 6 book or 12 book set but you don't know enough people to give them to?  The committee will take care of that for you.

When you fill out your Kickstarter survey you'll be able to set how many of your books go into the "donate" pile.  Then a volunteer committee will figure out where to send them or what to do with them that makes the most sense.

I'm curious about at least two things with this idea - feedback please

Would you want to be on this committee?

Where should the books go?

I wouldn't mind being on this committee, but it sounds like there may be some distribution and logistics issues, which I would need help figuring out (certainly those issues are not something I have experience with).

Regardless, I can certainly research where they could/should go and facilitate building connections so all are assured they will be used properly.

Awesome, thanks Tonya!  Yes I'm sure there will be some head scratching among the group but it will work out.
 
I didn't do it. You can't prove it. Nobody saw me. The sheep are lying! This tiny ad is my witness!
