Thank you, Hidden-Tech community, for your prompt and generous responses.

I have identified someone to work with from this community and am grateful for the support and camaraderie.

Please come learn more about the Scibelli Enterprise Center, its relationship to UMass Amherst, its membership in ACTION, and how it can help businesses grow at one of our upcoming Open Houses on Jul 13,  Aug 10, and Sep 14, from 12noon - 1:00pm.  Kindly RSVP to incubator at stcc.edu<mailto:incubator at stcc.edu> so we can have an accurate count for lunch, which is on us.

Kind regards,
Marla

Subject: [Hidden-tech] CleanTech: Favor and Opportunity for Graphic Designers

Dear Hidden-Tech Graphic Designers,

If you believe that supporting the growth of cleantech businesses is a good thing, that your business can benefit from some exposure to a broader market than Western Massachusetts, and you have a few extra hours this week, I'm hoping you can help me out of a tight spot and get some value out of it, too.

I'm looking for a graphic designer that can pull together a logo for a new organization that is accelerating the success of new cleantech businesses by this Thursday, Jun 16.  ACTION is the Association of CleanTech Incubators of New England and has been working hard to build alliances among the assorted business incubators across New England committed to supporting clean technology companies.  The definition of cleantech is quite broad and includes sustainability, energy efficiency, biofuels, solar, wind, and more.  We'll also need the usage of the logo on a website (i.e., color palette), and a PowerPoint template but only need the logo by the 16th.

The Scibelli Enterprise Center is a member of ACTION and I'm on its board and the chair of its Marketing Committee.  The company I had lined up to do the work pro bono backed out this weekend.  This has put me in a bind since I'm supposed to present a few logos at this coming Friday's board meeting in Fall River.  I've got input for what we're looking for as well as other organizations that ACTION works with for which want the logo to be compatible.   You can see the awful logo currently being used and read a little about the organization at www.innovativeaction.org<http://www.innovativeaction.org>.  We've done much more than this webpage reflects.

If you are interested in this work and can make my deadline, I'll be eternally grateful to you.  Beyond that, your company will get ACTION sponsor recognition on its website and in print materials hopefully leading to more clients for you.  ACTION is a visible and growing organization with connections to a lot of organizations and companies.  They are actively raising funds which could lead to additional business for you from them, as well as their members.

Please let me know if you can do this.  Upon contacting me, I'll send you the input that I've gathered which will help you pull a logo together.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Email or cell are fine.

With great appreciation,
Marla

P.S. If you know of other graphic designers that might not be on this list, please feel free to share this note with them.   I appreciate knowing who the graphic designers in our Valley are, too.
