A Bike is a Simple Machine…
Rosa Loves and FCSIFE are combining forces to give independence to community members of the St. Augustine area. Rosa Loves is a local non-profit t-shirt business that uses art and creativity to foster hope and encouragement through the aid of apparel. Each t-shirt is designed for a specific project; the proceeds from the t-shirts go to benefit that cause. Rosa Loves and FCSIFE's new project is directed to our local community. By commissioning recycled and used bikes to people who stand to gain independence and grow their economic opportunity.
FCSIFE's current job is to create info-packets to be dispersed into the community. Mike Fretto will be creating surveys to place with the info-packets. The survey is to better asses where the need is within the community. The info-packets will describe the process of receiving and fixing a bike and then giving the bike to the community member in need.

ARC Sandwich Shop…
ARC's Sandwich shop is rolling along really well. The Committee has narrowed down the name to five favorites and the official name will be chosen at the next meeting. We have been working hard on compiling menu options from competitors and we're starting to put together sandwich ideas that will make our lunch options unique (or at least really yummy!). ARC clients have been sharing their messages & thoughts and the business plan is beginning to take shape. We've set a goal to have the first deliveries start in January.

The Avant Garbage Eco Art Show…
This is the third year Flagler College’s SIFE team is doing the Avant Garbage Eco Art Show. This year it will be held on November 7th in conjunction with the First Friday Art Walk. The art show challenges St. Augustine community members and Flagler College students to turn their trash into art and draw attention to the importance of environment conservation. All artwork submitted must be made primarily out of re-used materials. Along with the art show, we will be holding a silent auction with any art that the artists are willing to donate. All profits from the auction will go to a community program/organization in need.
