Update on Tampa Epoch

Hi,

Wanted to give you an update on Tampa Epoch.  As of now we have 74 vendors and believe we have sold approximately 3,000 of our original 20,000 print run.  We are meeting vendors every day early in the morning to sign them up and to resupply their newspaper inventory.  Unfortunately, the number of vendors are overwhelming us.  We have now purchased about every high visibility vest in the city and are ordering more.

Each vendor receives papers, a vest, tshirt, sign, instructions, and supervision.  We are urgently in need of sponsors for our vendors for $25 each.   One person had seen Tampa Epoch mentioned on tv, then later saw one of our vendors, he pulled over and hired him and another homeless friend to help with some construction work for a few days.  One of our vendors said he made $27 on selling 23 papers.  He said it was the first time he had seen that much money in a month.

You can sign up online and get more information at www.TampaEpoch.com

Thank you for all that you do.

Bill
