Default once in a lifetime opportunity.....GVRD

To make a very long story relatively short, I have somehow been "gifted" many, many, many 33 gallon tanks, a couple 4x8 frag tables, and a bunch of miscellaneous goodies. This can only be described as a once in a lifetime oportunity.
My intention is to establish some sort of GVRD reefer's co-op. We can utilize the frag tables as a frag over - flow, and the tanks as fish refuge, for those "crap I should not have bought this fish", a safety net for "my tank is crashing" or " I need a hospital tank now" or " I'm moving and need some place for my livestick".....you get the picture. I'm looking for like-minded individuals. There is plenty of time to make a game plan. What we don't have is time to get the resources out. I need volunteers, and individuals who are willing to be part of the plan. Those of you with the "for profit" or personal gain motive need not apply.
We have a fantastic oportunity here to do something truly wonderful and unique for the hobby. I won't allow this to be screwed up by personal agenda. Who is in????

Depending on my work schedule, I may be able to help. Unfortunately, late March is my busiest time of year since its end of term for my university students.

Either you or I'm in the wrong province. This is a great idea.

Where will the co-op be located?
What skill sets do you required?
What roles do you need filled?
What's required - hardware? Soft skills?

There are also lots of other great questions posted in the thread by other Canreef members.

I understand the concept of co-ops - MEC, REI evolved into million dollar companies.

What's your objective? Membership? Vision?

Thoughts?
