CHALKBOARD STUDIOS

Breaking news

Attention to all of Chalkboard Studios:

I have dug into some local government funding and i have discovered the following after calling in.

It is estimated that the 100 applicants who apply for the small grants, only 10% will recieve it.
The grant is based on product innovation and long term sustainability. This is for upper management to really put their heads in.

For the marketers; the entity will have to prove there is a market for this. Research and estalishing contacts is now a priority. Mark i will probably host a marketers meeting inconjunction with the overall long term business plan which means Omer will be attending. Dates will be decided soon and i expect this to occur within 2 weeks.

The grant is provided that the entity (us) is business ready. (with the compilation of the business plan and final draft of the first issue we will be.)

I was told that small juice bars and all that do not qualify therefore it will be imperative that we distinguish our final product.

There is an uncoming information session about this grant and i would like the partners and any chalkboard member who is willing to attend. I believe this will give us the momentum to open up early and well as finance the project for 2006.

Time is running out, the following is from the businessmelbourne website.

Funding round: August 2005.
Venue: 7th July 2005
Melbourne Town Hall
6:00pm
Applications close:
5 pm Friday
5th August 2005

The grant is approximately $50,000. Play time is over.
Any questions in regards to this matter please feel free to ask me.

-Jay, Director.
