Status Update
Even though I don’t have any pretty pictures of new products to show you today, I wanted to update everyone on our recent progress. And give you a sneak peek at t-shirt and hoodie design! We should be seeing these in the next couple of weeks:

Back
I will leave the color of the t-shirts a surprise :)
In other exciting business-y news, our tax-exempt application is basically complete. I am now searching for some good pro-bono legal help to look it over before sending it into the IRS. I got turned down by the Chicago Economic Development Law Project this afternoon because their mission excludes helping animals. Of course I tried the argument that humans ARE animals, but alas it was to no avail. The good news is that the attorney I talked to was extremely helpful and suggested several other places I could call, including the Chicago Bar Association. Anyone out there know where we could find some pro-bono help?
My board member Melissa and I are taking a seminar next week on writing comprehensive business plans for non-profits! I know it sounds riveting. I’m sure we will learn a lot, and Big Hearts will surely benefit from our effort to learn more and network!
Finally on the product front – the metal bowl stand designs (in 3 sizes!) have been finalized and we are simply waiting on price quotes from our manufacturers. We hope to place an order within the month! Which means, those of you who are excited to own one just may get your chance this fall!
Now, to get to work finishing those hand drawn thank you cards I still owe most of you…
