Crafts for SAGE?

While on my merry way along the yellow brick road of the internet, I came upon a site that taught me how to make paper wallets. That was cool and I was obsessed with making them for a while but that phase of my life is over, alas.

Well, the site http://www.instructables.com/ is not just for making paper wallets। They also have things that I thought SAGE might be into. For instance, if you check out the links below, you will see that there are a variety of recycled materials that we could use for pencil cases or little bags for various things. The thing about these pencil cases is that they don't have to be made out of juice cartons or potato chip bags but basically anything that would hold some weight and would be kind of waterproof. Examples would be things like the rice bags or other recycled materials (personally I don't like the idea of having a potato chip pencil bag but we can use this as a sample to get other things going).

Our buttons will be mailed to our button making woman as soon as I can lay my hands on a stamp or two. Do the "forever" stamps ship any weight anywhere? I doubt it somehow. So those will be in soon, hopefully in time for Oktoberfest.

Don't forget the meeting on Wednesday @ 8pm in TETC 219! Hope to see all the shining faces of yore there.

If anyone has any other ideas for things to sell for SAGE so that we can fundraise to bring a speaker here, please submit them below.

New SAGE blog!

SAGE has started a blog in order to stay in tune with you "hip" youngsters who use your blackberries and do not even know what a real blackberry is. This blog will be featuring different collaborators about different subjects. Mostly, they will have to do with SAGE events and getting people hyped up for those. Other subjects may include political rants against what our government, or SU for that matter, is doing to us, men and women alike.
 
This is a more informal way to get the message across and to relate to people in general. If you wish to contribute, please email sage21801@gmail.com your message. If it is chockablock full of spelling and/or grammar errors, it will not be posted. Come on people, we are in college now! Stop typing "then" when you mean "than"!
 
See how it starts already?
