Good Deeds --Knoxville
  "Good Deeds" will be a new "magazine" in newspaper format. It will have (as a goal) 56 pages. There will be a few pages that tell all about the featured charities for that edition (the goal is to print every 3 months). The rest of the "magazine" will have half a page of advertisements from sponsors. The other half of the page will have stories about children doing good deeds - or about children doing things to help others.

I'm going to distribute Good Deeds at churches and libraries. I've talked to a bunch of churches here in Knoxville who are willing to put up a wire rack in their lobby or near their other literature. All the churches that I've talked to so far have agreed to buy the racks and the MetroPulse (the local paper that is doing the printing) will supply the racks at cost (around $14 each). I will print 1 magazine for every member of their congregation and 100 for each library. So far I have a circulation over 40,000 and I've only talked to a few of the biggest churches. Knoxville has a population of about 300,000 and all of them go to church somewhere (just ask 'em). I expect to print 100,000 each edition.

The newspaper is going to help me sell ads as well as some of the charities that I've used in the newsletter. I have to sell a lot of advertising for it. But, if it all goes even close to the plan, I'll be able to raise about $10,000 for charity. All the profits for the project go to charity.
