All your hard work will be worth the effort. One thought here--could you set up an area for quilters' day retreats? One of our quilt shops here in Fort Worth purchased adjacent space and allows groups to use it. The room is set up with long tables and plenty of plugs. Also an area for ironing boards and cutting mats. The LQS does not charge for using the space on the theory we will probably purchase something while we're there, duh! This is where our group goes once every couple of months to do hospice quilts. You might be able to rent your space if the price is reasonable.
