Meeting Notes 9/18

1) I need EACH of you to please pick 3 companies and design T-shirts to send to them. MAKE THEM LOOK (somewhat) PROFESSIONAL! I’m attaching two templates. You can open/edit them with ‘Paint’ on any windows machine. I would like to mail these next weekend, so please do THREE and get them to me sometime next week! I’m including a list of companies, feel free to come up with some creative solutions. Keep in mind, we’re sending T-shirt designs to companies that would be capable of sponsoring at our $4,000 level. 3 files I’m attaching to this email:
-T-shirt template
-My Home Depot example
-List of companies.
Some of the companies have been “taken”… when you choose your 3 companies, PLEASE add a comment on the website to the T-shirts section so everyone will know your 3 companies. www.ee.siue.edu/~solar
