-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Nancy Powell" <nancyp2(a)gmail.com> We REALLY need storage space in San Jose. Francie sent this great information from another rescue group. Is anyone willing to make calls to storage units in San Jose and try to get us a donated space? I think with Bill in Davis now, we would just close down the Redwood City space and move everything to San Jose. "Hi all, I have seen several emails related to people needing storage units near their area. I wanted to share with you what we did. We took a list of all the storage facilities within a five mile radius of where we wanted to store our supplies. We then contacted the owners/managers of these facilities and asked them to donate space. We were successfull in securing a large storage unit that normally goes for $160 per month for FREE. We get it for a year at a time and provide a tax deduction letter for the owner. Also, because we qualified we were provided 24/7 gate access because as you know in animal rescue emergencies don't always happen between 10-7. Most importantly we no longer struggle with inventory. We know where everything is at all times. We no longer have issues with stuff being loaned out and not remembering who has it or having a disgruntled volunteer refuse to return supplies. We require everything to be signed out with an agreement that if it is not returned it is paid for. We keep supplies for adoptions arranged in one area so anytime there is an event loading is a breeze. This also makes it that no volunteer has to give up their personal garage and time with people coming to their house for stuff. We also put a combo lock on the door so you do not need a key and anyone authorized can get into the unit.

I will gladly use my time to try and get us some space, any ideas what area of San Jose or how large of a storage space I should be focusing on?
