Welcome to the Bo Tree Blog!

As we've traveled to different places, we've often dreamed of creating a unique business that builds upon the bookstore/café model by incorporating diverse elements for all ages: a greater range of dining experiences, indoor & outdoor theaters, educational opportunities, health and fitness practices, environmentally friendly products, and more.

It'll be 2019 before we can make this a reality so we're not as concerned with making realistic plans right now. Our focus now - and on this blog - is to incubate divergent and creative ideas with YOUR help.

So, we'd love for you to read a section at a time. They're organized along the right side of the screen & when selected, will appear below this introduction (you'll have to scroll down). Then let us know what you think (good or bad) through the blog comments or by emailing us at botree@gmail.com .

Thanks!
Jason & Jennifer

Charity / Non-Profit / Community

Social equity is part of the Triple Bottom Line and thus we will look for opportunities to nurture our community through charitable efforts.

-Cash Donations

-Charity Drives

-Grants (microloans and mentoring for emerging entrepreneurs…) / Scholarships (Outward Bound,…) / Live-Work-Study programs for social entrepreneurs, artists (www.serveyourplanet.org)

-Soup kitchen/Donating leftovers?

-Nurture stewardship of local “place” & community participation:

--Bring in a ticket stub from a local event (school play, Chef Soiree, etc, and get a discount or something)

-Host a StoryCorps recording station (http://www.storycorps.net/)
