Please contact me directly to keep me up-to-date on the development of a shared-use kitchen in Oakland or Macomb counties in Michigan.
I am willing to vouch for my interest in the use of a shared-use kitchen. I am not making a commitment at this time, but I am willing to be named specificallally in a business plan as a case-study.
I would not participate in an Oakland/Macomb county, Michigan location, but please make me part of a loosely organized network of users and providers of shared-use kitchens...I want to know more about what's going on in my area.
Please be as specific as possible when answering the questions below. They will be helpful in planning and justifying the development of a shared-use kitchen.

2. What days during the week or month would you use a shared-use kitchen? What times of the day would you occupy the kitchen, and for how long?
3. What kind of special needs do you have with respect to space, work surfaces, equipment and storage (short and long-term) when conducting business?
4. Do you have any additional comments? Do you have any further details you wish to provide that aren't covered above?
