 * PROJECT IS ON HOLD DUE TO LACK OF RESOURCES ****

Purpose: The goal of the proposal is to: 1. encourage reusing and recycling through reusing clothes that are considered second hand. 2. Promote local businesses and local talent 3. Generate attention to the GoodWill (on the corner of Division and GoodRich ST. SE.) to younger crowds. 4. Get the Printing Club a good contact for printable clothes 5. Help give the Fashion club a resource they can use within the school

Idea: take recycled clothes and reprint on them to make them cool/ appealing, the initial capital of reprinted clothes will help jump start a cycle that will allow GoodWill to attract new cliental (through their vintage clothing section) that is appealing to the youth/'scene' that hails right across the street. In tern GoodWill will donate clothes that the print club can print on and in tern give more reprinted clothes to the GoodWill. The Kendall Fashion club can also use this connection as a way to get material for their show, while promoting GoodWill and the printing club at Kendall. Printed clothes can also be used for side walk sales for fundraising for each of the clubs but must resupply GoodWill with material for their Vintage/Collective Pressure section.

As the Green Council:

Our Role: supply initial clothes for printing, then talk with clubs to see what (as a whole) we would like to do. all options and ideas are open

Our goal: To get print club in contact with the GoodWill so that the green council at some point will have little to no hand in the matter (give power to Collective Pressure)

Steps in the process

1. get clothes through impromptu clothing gathering (DONE) 2. Contact Print Club President (DONE) 3. Give cloths to the print club (DONE) 4. get some sort of start up base 5. present idea to Goodwill (figure out cooperation and such) 6. gather more clothes for print club 7. chat with Fashion club about their end (do they want the clothes that the print club can't print on? they could take clothes and remake them into new things) 8. Figure out what is going to go on with the clothes printed on by the printing club 9. Need a good business deal that GoodWill will like that not only they benefit from with the least amount of effort that we gain much from.

10. set up cycle and implement it

Some ideas that were tossed around for the first initial steps to jump start the cycle:

1. Sell clothes in a side walk sale (split the profits for each club GC and CP) OR 2. Donate clothes the the Kendall Fashion show (then do sidewalk sale of the clothes and others in the show) 3. Donate any remaining clothes to goodwill to their vintage clothing section (hopefully there will be enough left over for GoodWill to supply more clothes) 4. In tern the print club will get clothes that they can reprint on directly from Goodwill (Division and GoodRich across from DAAC and art district) 5. Either split profits in another sale and donate rest of clothes or can directly put into GoodWill stores
