I would like to wish everyone a happy new year! I hope your all
enjoying your time at home. I have been busying working on our penny
war project. I had a suggestion about finding sponsors from one of
our speakers David Rubinstein and if anyone is interested in helping
me come up with some ideas I'd greatly appreciate it. He asked me
to think of people and companies who sell to college students and
wants to sell more? Who buys ads in the student newspaper? Who has
retail shops near many campuses? Apple? McDonalds? GAP? Tower Records?
Sony? If you guys have ideas please email me.

Also David is willing to post some information on his website about
our efforts. He would like us write one brief announcement paragraph,
and another brief message to potential sponsors. The latter should not
be a letter, per se, but just enough language that one of our mailing
list subscribers could use it as a part of a message to a friend whose
company could be a sponsor. I have started to work on this but if you
want to help out let me know.

I have also drafted a letter to send to Oprah to ask for her help and
if anyone would like to read and offer feedback I have attached it.

Thank you all for your continuing help!
