I am working on a project about a local thrift shop in Allentown, Pa that supports a community WIFI program. From my discussion with my fellow group members our tag line goes something like this:
“A local thrift-shop that is shifting the paradigm of the structure a local business by using its earning to fund a local WIFI program and other community endeavors”.
Honestly, this was not my first choice for a project. I originally wanted to work in the Arts Valley, as this was the idea I originally proposed. However, after meeting with my current group members I decided to commit to this project because I wanted to step outside of comfort zone. As a person who is very interested in music it is often easy for me to work on projects that cater to that subject. However, I think it is important to explore different interests and ideas in order to maintain a more interesting and holistic world view. With this in mind, I am now very excited to work on this project with the rest my group because I am getting an opportunity to learn more about local business and its role in community engagement. I think if we commit ourselves and remember to have fun that this project will turn out well.
