Default Starting a quilting group at a retirement center

We are moving my in laws to a retirement center nearby. I am seriously considering starting a quilting group there. There isn’t one currently, and the apartments are so small I don’t expect anyone to have their own machines or fabric stash. I have 5 travel size machines as well as a number of other machines I could bring in as needed. I’m thinking of making up kits for easy pillow cases for a first meeting, then expecting them to provide their own fabric after that. I can help with online shopping, and talk to the center about a fabric shopping trip into town. There is only a couple of thrift shops in town, no fabric stores. If the center could give us a closet for storage, I could put up an ad soliciting fabric donations.
What am I not thinking of?
