Project #2: StudioSTL

"We have an afterschool program (in addition to our workshops, in-school programs, annual regional literary magazine and newspaper summer camp) where kids are here at our writing studio doing creative writing twice a week, and they would love to be creating products for us to have and sell as part of our social enterprise. We would love to get a coil binding machine so that our young writers can be binding their own publications here in our studio."

The Sloup Grant totaled $210 thanks to everyone who came out and to The Mud House for donating this month's soup--a hearty chickpea minestrone!

Next Sloup: April 25th (it'll sneak up on us - send in your feedback and your proposals as you dream them!)

Soup #2: The Mud House

This month our neighbor The Mud House is donating our second soup! If you've never eaten at The Mud House, come learn about their awesomeness. And if you have, you know this soup can't be missed.

Also, bring a bowl! Last month, our bowls were on loan, but it's time to put together a permanent collection for Sloup. Bring that bowl you don't ever use and give it a new purpose in life.

Lamb or Lion?

Project #1: Urban Studio Café

"The Urban Studio Café will purchase a YUDU Personal Screen printer to use in evening art screen-printing workshops for teens in the community. Additionally, teens will create Urban Studio Café apparel (totes, shirts, scarves) that will not only promote the café but will be unique, creative, pieces of art. Apparel will be sold at the cafe and profits will be reinvested in Urban Studio community programs."

The Sloup Grant totaled $240 thanks to everyone who came and voted and ate soup! Success!

Sloup is a work in progress. What works? How could it work better? Please send feedback, ideas...and proposals!

Next Sloup: March 28th
