This Website is dedicated to finding 12 individuals who have the desire to work together to help complete the beginning stages of a new, more balanced and more benevolent economic system.

THE ARK is a Membership Association dedicated to the purpose of creating a new grass roots economy by assisting people in the successful operation of local independent businesses.

Development of the concept for this Association started on September 1, 1982. Since that time, many features necessary to the successful operation of this Association have been developed.

This Website briefly reveals what has been accomplished to date and some of the basic ideas for implementing the concept.
