Hi. I'm Paul McMahon and I own the Mothership, an everything center in Woodstock dedicated to creativity, spirituality, community, and Woodstock culture.

We have more than one serious leak in the roof over the porch and will need a new roof at the estimated cost of $12,000. If it isn't reshingled soon, there will likely be very expensive structural damage. This may already be starting, in which case the cost will go higher.

The Mothership provides the space and opportunity for many cultural events to happen in Woodstock, and a good number of musicians and artists have had their first shows here. Since 2007, we've hosted thousands of events. The porch is a wonderful venue in its own right and many concerts and readings have taken place on it. We simply need to save the porch by giving it a new roof.
