|

The word "gift" gave me an idea. Since the holiday season is approaching, how about we advertise how great a gift a shirt for saving SoE would make. Not only that, we can advertise to parents to buy Engineering/Tulane/non-Tulane promotional items through us to give to their kids. Of course, all profits would go to the SoE charity that we have created. _________________ Tulane Engineering Freshman |

That is definately something we have been looking into. The problem is thus:
1. We officially don't have the system in place to deal with actual money. Up until now everything has been out of pocket from Will and myself (its ok its not much).
2. T-shirts would be awesome...but I'm not sure about the legal issues for using the Tulane name...perhaps if we made them www.SaveTulaneEngineering.org but then again perhaps not. We NEED more legal help and we are still looking for a lawyer who can help us.
3. It would be expensive to make the shirts, unless anyone has the connections already, perhaps from making all those other cool engineering shirts out there.
That all being said. If we could get all that in order. I would LOVE to have shirts made and sold to start raising both awareness and some funds.
Again, ANY lawyers who are able to represent us or assist us please contact Will and I ASAP. We have a lawyer looking into the Not-For-Profit for us but could still use other advice.
Keep the ideas coming! _________________ - Justin Mikowski

I know it's been said. In reference to how to print shirts, especially quickly and on demand, dont forget about using cafepress. There would be no initial outlay (I believe the stores are free) to print shirts that may or may not be legal, and you won't have to deal with shipping them. People could have them before they get back to tulane. It would be a neat way to show our numbers if we all wore them in a coordinated effort. |

Great idea! I have sent e-mails to both Craig and the fine people at the nolahurricanefund.org. I will let you all know what comes of it. Keep the ideas coming. _________________ - Justin Mikowski
