A unique opportunity to expand the Crimson Circle Connection Center (also know as the CC Studio) has come to us. While the CC Studio is a state-of-the-art technical facility, we’ve always needed more space for Shaumbra gatherings, monthly webcasts, meetings, workshops, storage and restrooms. We’re often tripping over ourselves due to the limited space in our current suite. Plus, we don’t want a noisy tenant to move in next door now that the space is available!
It’s expensive of course, because commercial construction in Colorado is pricey these days. The total cost of the build-out and new equipment will be about $200,000 (two hundred thousand dollars), not including the actual monthly lease payments. It’s the same dilemma we faced when we were looking at creating a broadcast studio 2-1/2 years ago. We thought about getting a “lesser” space and almost no audience seating, but decided it would be well worthwhile to do it right, rather than cheap. Shaumbra from around the world nearly brought us to tears when they came forward with over $250,000 in financial support to build the CC Studio. We’ve put it to good use ever since.
In order to expand the CC Studio we are once again asking for financial support from Shaumbra. We’re introducing a PLEDGE TO EXPAND fund-raising drive that will determine whether or not we are able to go forward with the expansion project. We can’t do it without you.

HOW THE “PLEDGE TO EXPAND” PROGRAM WORKS
TRACKING OUR PROGRESS
On the Pledge to Expand page on the CC website we’ll update the pledge amount every few days so you can see the progress. We’ll also list your name as a Shaumbra Pledger (unless you choose to remain anonymous)-listed on Crimson Circle webpage. If we raise more than the $200,000 amount needed for the build-out, we’ll apply the extra funds to paying the monthly rent. In other words, 100% of the funds will be used for the studio expansion or the monthly rent. None of the Pledge funds will be used for regular CC operating costs.
BENEFITS OF THE EXPANDED STUDIO
What will the new space do for Shaumbra and Crimson Circle? Here’s just a few benefits:
IN SUMMARY
We’re all expanding in one way or the other, and now we have the unique opportunity to expand the Crimson Circle Studio. We can do it if Shaumbra from around the world step up to support the project. Your Pledge (which means promise or commitment) to contribute $44, $99, $250 or any amount you’re comfortable with, will help make it possible. Make your Pledge now, and if we raise enough money to make it happen you’ll have until May 31 to make the payment. Let’s see how far we can expand together!
