Models Needed! Teecycle is a site run by a local named Tim Cigelske that aims to recycle used shirts by selling them. Neat idea! Tim is looking for some models, and has asked Web414 to join the cause. If anyone wants to help Tim out and be a model, stick around after the meeting. Oh, and if you have shirts to donate to the cause, bring them too.)
