Greetings!

Rumor has it that the Sous Terre armored truck is to get fired up this autumn to make its way across the country.  Now more than ever, we need ALL HANDS ON DECK! 

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

Here are a few reasons why NOT to wait until fall semester to join the FUNDRED campaign:

Summer School Sessions
Does your school have a summer session?  This is an art project that extends beyond art.  Tell your colleagues about the project and how FUNDRED applies to Social Studies, Community Service, Science and more.  Encourage their creativity and help them them get started!
 
Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts
Do you have a connection to the Scouts?  FUNDRED is a perfect opportunity for community service badges + more.  Don't let your local scout troops miss the opportunity to be involved in FUNDRED.  Encourage their creativity and help them get started.  FUNDRED may even be more satisfying than the cookie campaign!

How about the local YMCA or Boys & Girls Club?  How about Summer Camps, Community Centers, and Libraries?
Are your local branches getting in on the action?  Stop by and give them the opportunity to be creative and help them get started!  

Resources:  Remember we are happy to send templates directly to any schools and/or clubs that need them - click here to order templates.

 
FUNDRED EXHIBITIONS IN FUNDRED HOT SPOTS

Hundreds of FUNDREDS are an inspirational sight to be seen!  To see what is happening in a few hot spots around the country (e.g. Atlanta, Houston, Arlington, Brooklyn) check out the FUNDRED round-the-country gallery on the photo gallery page here:  http://fundred.org/pages/Gallery/gallery_photo_gallery.htm

CALLING ALL INTERNS

The FUNDRED team will be greatly expanding starting this summer.  If you know college students or other interested community members who would like to help make this project happen in their community, send them HERE for more information.  Interns have the potential to earn course credit through their own institution, and will be instrumental in making this project happen!

With our new team, and your help, we are planning to send the truck out in late fall 2009 to deliver all 300 million FUNDREDS to D.C.  This means we all have much work to do in less than a year.  Please help us get your area involved now!
