Our organization is about promoting and rallying the citizens of Seguin as well as the corporation of Chick-fil-a in order to bring a future Chick-fil-a to the town by creating a survey and identifying benefits of having an establishment like this in Seguin, and what it will do for the local community, including residents, students, and visitors to Seguin.

If we succeed, we want to bring in more restaurants to Seguin in the future, providing an enhanced eating experience for anyone who wishes for more options in dining, especially since we will be well known and have established connections with the community. For quite awhile, students at Texas Lutheran have longed for a closer Chick-fil-a than New Braunfels, so there’s no doubt there are more popular dining establishments students and Seguin residents want closer to them such as Panda Express, Panera Bread, Which Wich, etc.

We will be satisfying the need of many Seguin residents and students, as well as making a difference in the community if we succeed. Chick-fil-a gets the community involved in events, sponsorships, donating food, fundraisers, offering scholarships, and events events like Daddy-Daughter Date Night. We hope that if this Chick-fil-a gets approved it will continue to make a positive change and impact on the community and customers.

            Our current program is the creation of a drive-in movie theater in Seguin. In the future, programs we plan to hold at the drive-in include vintage car shows, themed movie nights, and discount nights. These programs will bring a much-needed positive change in the entertainment sphere of Seguin, as well as bring members of the Seguin community together, regardless of age. This theater would also bring people from outside of Seguin from neighboring areas such as New Braunfels, San Marcos, and San Antonio to the city of Seguin. Moreover, the creation of such a drive-in could bring in more revenue to the city of Seguin as a whole.

            While it is true that Seguin already has a movie theater, King Ranger Theater, we feel that Decades Drive-In will put forth an entirely new atmosphere and level of engagement to which King Ranger pales in comparison. At Decades Drive-In, we combine the leisure of watching movies with the iconic nostalgia of pre-twenty-first century drive-ins. The outside seating and the comfort of one’s own car as well as a newer, fresher venue are only two aspects of Decades Drive-In’s prominence over the already established King Ranger Theater. Thus, we feel that the creation of Decades Drive-In is both necessary and sensible.

     We will partnering with the music festivals/ticket companies, such as Eventbrite and Austin City Limits, to price tickets appropriately to get the funding needed to contribute to “Hydration for Haiti”. With the higher priced ticket, 5-25% of the ticket purchase goes to our foundation. The money we receive goes to the purchasing of boxed water and cover shipping costs without those attending the concerts to have any extra costs.

     In the future our we plan to have families available for sponsorship and we will have a photo and sponsorship information displayed upon the purchase of the ticket. Options to sign up will be available in the future of the program. To sponsor a family, it is a monthly investment $15.00 to provide enough water for a family of four. With the sponsorship comes bi-annual updates and letters may be exchanged between sponsors and sponsees. You can choose to cancel the sponsorship at anytime, and it is renewable at the end of the year if you would like to continue with the program. You may sponsor as many families as you would like. We also plan to lobby for government officials to help raise awareness to restore property rights in Haiti. With restored property rights and help from engineers, wells and other reservoirs will provide a reliable source of clean water to the citizens of Haiti.

     We will be targeting a younger generation by focusing on concert/festival goers and simply redirecting the profit to a better cause. This will be a positive impact to the world without a noticeable cost to the patrons. The biodegradable boxed waters will ensure that families don't suffer from dehydration until we can provide a reliable source of clean water. Other non-profits seem to focus more on the need of water for children rather than by families. As a non-profit, what makes us unique, is how we reach out to people. Through music and joy, people will be giving to families in need. Using boxes to transport the water is different than other non-profits who use plastic bottles. Our concern is to help not only the people in Haiti, but the environment as well. We are spreading awareness of the need of water, and the fact that families cannot access water on their own land because of property rights.

S.W.W.M.F. Executive Summary

We are a nonprofit organization called Students Who Wants More Food. There is no history of a Chick-Fil-A being in Seguin, TX, but the population is growing and in need of a variety of restaurants.  Our mission is to bring a variety of fast food to Seguin, Tx, specifically Chick-Fil-A, and our vision is to see Chick-Fil-A come and bringing community involvement, helping Seguin businesses grow and be able to serve the community.

We began by creating a survey and contacting fellow students to share what they think, as well as contacting the mayor of Seguin, and board of city planning. We believe asking the community what they think will work or what they want to will be beneficial in order to bring in a variety of business.

The result that we plan on achieving is having a new Chick-fil-a restaurant open in the city limits of Seguin to provide their product and service to its residents and visitors.

Asking for donations, especially from the city of Seguin. If it gets approved then Chick-Fil-A will finance their own franchise.

It is our mission to gather the community and get people involved in activities to establish relationships and create diversity through increased food options throughout Seguin.

Getting people involved in the community, helps the economy of Seguin, inviting other people to Seguin, and creating jobs. We are students who knows the needs of other students and what we want, instead of driving to fulfill that. All of these strengths provide income to families, a variety of food, and getting the community together.

We created a survey that asked several questions to help us see if Chick-fil-a would be a good fit for Seguin. We got 68 responses to the survey, where 99% of the voters chose yes to having a Chick-fil-a in Seguin.

Hydration for Haiti, 501(c)(3),  Executive Summary

“The universal language meets the foundation of life.”

Our mission is to provide clean drinking water to families in Haiti by bringing communities together through the love of music, and to raise awareness about the property rights struggle that prevents the community from accessing clean water on their own land.  For the bigger picture our vision is to eliminate the water crisis in Haiti so that families can live without the worry of not having access to clean drinking water.  

We are planning to achieve our purpose by providing photos and information of families in need and making them available for sponsorship at the purchase of tickets for music events around the state of Texas. The sponsorship includes the delivery of clean water to the families for one year through “Hydration for Haiti”, the option to keep in touch through writing letters and sending photos, and bi-annual updates on the sponsored families status. This keeps the sponsorship on a personal level and keeps the sponsors involved.

We are going to finance our activities by private donors, partnering with music festivals, concerts, artists.  Initial money collected from private donors will be used for the start up cost to promote our non-profit, manufacturing branding products for additional sales, and equipment needed to set up booths. Profit made from ticket sales will go towards sending boxed water to families and raising awareness of the need to restore property rights to the citizens of Haiti.

Our primary product, program or service is bringing clean water to the families of Haiti in an eco-friendly way, by transporting the water in biodegradable boxes rather than plastic.      

We will be targeting a wider audience, with an emphasis on younger generations. It adds a bigger purpose to attending concerts without the extra investment, it’s simply the redirection of profit. You can help save lives while enjoying the gift of music. This allows us to reach more people and raise awareness of the issues that need to be addressed.

Executive Summary

            As one of the most family-oriented and hospitable areas Texas has to offer, the City of Seguin has an obligation to provide a wholesome and beneficial environment in which its citizens can live and thrive. While Seguin remains a tight-knit and friendly community, the entertainment sphere for the people of Seguin could use ample improvement. Those of all ages would agree that Seguin’s variety of town entertainment is sparse at best. This is why we at the Decades Drive-In Nonprofit feel it wholly necessary to begin the movement to bring a drive-in theater to the Seguin area. We seek to improve the quality of entertainment in Seguin and surrounding areas for all ages at a low cost.

            Our team, a group of Texas Lutheran University students, is dedicated to improving Seguin not only for younger citizens, but those of all ages. The nostalgic drive-in theater, best known before the turn of the century, appeals to those of all ages and can provide a fun, family-inclined setting for community engagement. We at Decades Drive-In Nonprofit feel that younger members of the Seguin community should be able to experience the drive-in movie theater ambiance while older members of the Seguin community can relive the touching nostalgia of a drive-in.

           

            In order to provide this nostalgic form of entertainment to those in Seguin, Decades Drive-In Nonprofit will begin a campaign to increase funding, awareness, and community involvement in the creation of this theater. As far as funding, Decades Drive-In plans to involve larger food companies to invest in Decades Drive-In by first aiding in initial building and maintenance costs and providing concessions and receive, in return, a percentage of profits the drive-in garners. Fast food restaurants in the Seguin area will have the opportunity to take part in this process. Decades Drive-In also plans to take out bank loans to aid in initial costs. Said funds, both from food companies and bank loans will be applied against the cost of land, screens, projection equipment, and construction costs.

            Decades Drive-In Nonprofit is a joint-owned nonprofit, and its team-oriented approach remains vital to its core beliefs that coming together is one of the most crucial aspects of any group or community.

And so it begins....
