Valentines Day Card Results

Thanks to everyone that participated in the Valentines Day card sales. We made a profit of $125. Great job!

Thanks again.

Urban Forest Project

The Urban Forest Project is an installation of designed banners that will be displayed on main street in Ann Arbor to raise awareness about sustainability issues in urban areas. The banners will then be taken down and converted into tote bags and sold to raise money for a local Ann Arbor environmental charity. This next meeting we will be focused on brainstorming and sketching our banner design. The 28" x 48" banners must be designed using a tree as a metaphor. So be thinking of ideas and please bring art supplies to sketch with. For more information, check out the Urban Forest Project's website.
