Alright. We are trying to put things in place so we MIGHT be able to afford this closing. As you may know, Excelsior runs on paper thin margins. Everything we earn goes back into the community center for the kids. Any profit gets turned into more games and systems and equipment for the lounge. Kaz and Bobby live off of a small external paycheck. Paying more in personally risks at home living expenses. they don't exactly live in luxury to start. They have a cramped apartment and several roommates to help shoulder the burden. Because we are still not a registered non-profit, we cant apply for several grants. As many times as we have tried to change this, things keep coming up that hurt us being able to reincorporate. We are keeping up to date on anything we can do there regarding COVID19 relief.
Nick Maskell designed this wonderful shirt to help get through this, and teach a good lesson with Social Distancing. That we need to Slow our Roll. Nick designed our wall mural. He is a gem!
So how else can you help?
One thing that's been going around is pre-buying gift cards for later use. We are taking payment for that through paypal. Excelsior@excelsiorcomicsandgames.com
Kaz is going to be posted a HUGE amount of handmade dice on etsy. Every cent from their profit is going to this. The new sets should be live at 10pm EST.
