Make waves with hoops.

Audience: Residents in Moroni, anyone reading the newspaper

Purpose/Objectives: Get the word out to the town residents of Moroni. Get together to find a solution to the problem. Hold a town meeting to discuss neutering the cats.

Project Schedule and budget: The project launched Thursday August 30, 2018. The project will be due September 20, 2018. The budget will be $1000. $25/hour. Estimating 40 hours.

Illustration Idea/Concept/Thematic Statement: This is a call for action.

The image will include money around it, detailing the problem through an economic viewpoint.
