Subject: Got any pet projects you want to see done?

The below message appeared on CryoNet (I have edited it a little). On my
original reply, I did not realize that CryoNet had been copied.  However no
harm has been done.  For those who have some pet projects that they would
like to see done in the cryonics movement, or have some ideas to share that
they think could help save lives, where there is no other option available,
now might be a good time to start a discussion on these ideas.  


What is the status of the proposed cryonics community?   The resort will be
completed around June of this year.  This will be available to the general
public.  However I am hoping that it will become a place where cryonicists
choose to vacation.   

We plan to have life extension seminars and conventions.  If you have a
special cryonics product or service you want to promote, you may want to
use our facility and our mailing list.  (We don't give you the names but we
will send out your message in our regular mailings when they start.)   What
a good place to sell life extension products or insurance or introduce new
ideas.  After a few successful years, we want to start on the retirement
part of the cryonics community project.  In the meantime, if a really good
idea comes into your mind, share it on this forum.  There is no harm in
thinking about things before we are able to begin doing them.

>or life insurance proceeds, so there will be some money to help get a good
start in the future.  There are lots of other things cryonicists should
want.  Think about >them.

>2.	Think how the Venturists could do these things.  Think how you/we will
sell or market these products and services.
