Ideas Happen

Visa has just raised itself to platinum status in my book. The olympics are always cool, but this is spot on. $25,000 to ten different projects that have the best ideas. IdeasHappen.com I found it on MSN. What's your idea? I'll have to submit something, maybe the concept for my gambling book, but actually this is right up BackPack Nation's alley. I just hope they all don't go to a bunch of do gooders and that some truly creative artists are recognized.

    Well, they've separated them out to entrpreneurs, community, and self expression so hopefully that will even things out. But I find myself "Not Feelin' It" for those that are too self involved. I have to keep looking because I want to support worthy off the wall ideas too.

    I have had this invention in my mind for more than 15 years and never had the money or opportunity to be able to get it on the market. It is a sports item that no one has come up with yet. This money would give me the backing I need to get it on the market. Thank you for your time. David Mcintyre

    This idea came to me a few weeks ago, my name is Grace and I'm a mother of 3. I have a 5 year old, 3 1/2 year old, and a 3 month old. I was with a friend who also has 3 children 7,9,and 12. We wanted to go get something to eat, but do something fun with the kids, not Mc Donalds or Chucky Cheese, a place that had good food, adult food when it dawned on me there is no place like that. And Adult restaurant with a play ground!!!!

    Its been my mission to seek out business sponsors who are interested in underwriting a youth development program by buying advertising space on our martial arts and basketball uniforms. Businesses sponsoring this project will have their advertisement seen throughout the five Boroughs of new york city, in a multitude of areas such as schools, parks, community centers, outdoor festivals, parades, basketball tournaments and martial arts tournaments.Not only will the business benefit from advertisement of their Company, but will be associated with a non-profit program that uses the martail arts and basketball as a vehicle for changing the negative mindset that some of our youth are exhibiting

    My dream is to have money invested in to my dream. My dream is of a festival that represents different cultures to children and adults. But more for children, I have worked for a similar show and really want the objective to be for kids to learn who they are and also to learn how we all really can get along through knowledge of arts, music, dance and food. The whole thing will be set up like even going through customs to a country with passports and all!

    My idea is ti make a nice little garden in Staten Island or Manhattan where everyone in New York can go to pray for our lost ones from September 11, 2001. In ways I think it will be a place to remember all our loved ones and all our famly member that past on that tragic day. It will also be a place in which the fire fighter families of the fire stations that are closing can go and remember the loved ones.

    I would like to buy junk homes and fix them up to resell in my area and surrounding area's. Their are homes available that have been disclosures and repossesions. I have networked a contactor that could do the work. But will need the inital start-up money to begin. I will not need to recieve pay until the home sells, but will work also until this business thrives. If anyone would like to invest please contact me right away.
