New strategy!

For the business of sewing to be successful the team has decided to select one of the rooms to act as a point where all the items that has been made in both the sewing plant and the woodshop to be displayed in. It is under renovation as of now, with nice paint job from two volunteering students. Sales will also be done at this point. Jackton has been working closely with both Bill Smith and Bob Brannon on making sure this pick up and becomes a success. Francis, Jackton, Victor and myself have also completed a two week course with Bob on using Quickbooks, to learn how to keep better records of both accounting and finances.
Our main plan is to target the local schools within the areas that sourrounds us, and get contracts from the schools to produce school uniforms for them. As of now we have three school. Bill and Charles have made brochures and fliers to help with marketing the business. The brochures has detailed prices of every uniform size.
This coming Saturday the MITS community that is both team and students, will be going out to the community to help market the new business and its items. We plan to divide eath other to cover more ground. Bill calls it 'The MITS army', we will go door to door, as we distribute fliers and borchures, telling parents, gurdians and kids about the shop at MITS.

Moses, your description sounds exciting. If you had any uniforms already made the kids could model them as they were distributing flyers. Remember the old saying, " a picture is worth a thousand words"? If the uniforms are sharp looking or appearing to be well made(hopefully both) they will sell thmselves. I hope you and I will get to spend some time together this trip so we will become better friends...Larry
