I know precisely who needs this: @andymeisen. He's a freelance editor, ingenious collaborator, and half of the two man accordion cover band, Group Dancing for Dutch People.

Basically, Andy is amazing. And amazing people should win this.

Kelsey Duda should definitely get this membership. She's a lover of all things Grand Rapids and is super passionate about growing business opportunities in West Michigan. Kelsey is a born-entrepreneur who is in the process of developing a socially-conscious wine company (called Six Stone Jars) that will simultaneously boost GR's economy and the improve the livlihood of communities across Africa. Her business plan is in the works, and she could use all the help she can get turning her dream into a reality. Check out Six Stone Jars' mission at Kelsey's site: www.ssjwines.com.

I would like to nominate Joey Pohlen and DormTshirts because he has potential for becoming something great. He never just says what he wants to do, he goes out there and does it. He doesn't let anyone tell him that he wont succeed, and i know that this free rent would help him greatly.

I would like to nominate Joe Pholen from dormtshirts for multiple reason that everyone below has highlighted so well, great work ethic, energetic, positive outlook, passion to help others, and for being just a great person all around. To the people making the final overall decision on who this space should go to only need to take a look at his resume to see all his accomplishment, listen to what the people have to say and you will understand why it would be nothing but a great benefit to everyone this would be to award him this gift.
