Hey ladies!
Tonight we had a meeting with Irving at Freedom hairdressing

He has offered to help us put on a fashion show...when we say help,we mean underwrite the costs,call the contacts,
he'll provide the lights and the cameras
our job is............ACTION!

The best dates are around the beginning of February,possibly combining Valentines times,and suggestions went something like...find some models,borrow clothes from high street stores/boutiques/2nd hand shops,put some looks together ,they do the hair make up blah blah , we get fat sams live, we set up some stall sell some badges/cards/cakes/whatever your in to ......£10 a ticket, and,
VOILA-New Designers here we come!
Irving would like to meet a group of us next Thursday if we're keen, so what does everyone think?

BRIAN COX EVENING on MONDAY!

hey friends its mario!i have kidnapped lizete u may not see her again.......

Brian Cox the actor and Uni rector has agreed to be our PATRON. This means while we are raising money for New Designers,asking folk for cash , raffle prizes etc, he is going to basically putting his name on the correspondence so that we look 'more official' and get more responses! He's a cool guy with a lot of connections Dundee and worldwide so....on Monday evening there is a meet and greet session with Brian at the union, since he has agreed to be our patron and may help financially in the long run it would be great if a bunch of us could go along and MAKE OURSELVES KNOWN!!

So ladies lets get together and say HI on Monday night! Lets make a big effort for EVERYONE to go its for all our benefits!

Donate Money online

We can get a paypal button on the blog to try and use the web to ask online people via twitter and facebook and email to donate. Maybe some of you got a placement over the summer and they could circulate the email in their offices, for example.

E-mail & Twitter

I have set us up our own e-mail address for fundraising and contacting people and things, it is:

textiletastic@gmail.com

Lorri, if you want to change the blog e-mail to it, go for it (though I doubt it'll make a difference).

Also, I have set twitter up with it (instead of my e-mail address) and located the password. I will give this to everyone tomorrow so we can start tweeting away to our heart's content and advertise via that media. Encourage everyone to follow us @textiletastic and follow yourselves if you have twitter already (or use the helpful tutorial to set up your own if not). :D

Fundrasing Ideas

Printer's not working (quelle suprise!) so I'll just post the ideas from the suggestion box here & we can discuss at tomorrow's meeting:
FUNDRAISING IDEAS

- MAKE 2 CALENDARS USING AN IMAGE FROM EVERYONE, PEOPLE’S FAMILY MEMEBERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BUY IT IF IT HAS THEIR WORK IN IT. (CHOOSING AN AMOUNT AND DOING HALF/HALF.)

- DO A PANCAKE DAY (OR EVEN BEFORE) CREPE SALE USING CARRIE’S CREPE MACHINE AND TOP WITH BANANNAS, NUTELLA ETC (MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK INTO HEALTH AND SAFETY)


- CAKE SALE!! HAVE A SALE EVERY TWO WEEKS, EVERYONE WOULD KNOW AND LOOK FOREWARD TO “CAKE DAY”

- TRY AND MAKE THINGS TO SELL AT THE CRAFT FAIR IN GENERAL, POSSIBLY THINGS LIKE LITTLE POUCHES FILLED WITH SMELLY THINGS (IE LAVENDER), MACHINE KNITTING SCARVES ETC.


- DO THINGS WITH BETTING (I THINK IT’S EASIER EXPLAINED IN PERSON)
