Young Entrepreneurs Club; Thursday 2pm -- 10/09.

It was the first meeting of the Young Entrepreneurs Club and, even with everything buzzing in Turtle's head for homecoming, she was ready to go and very excited and even a little bit nervous, although things like this should be old hat for her. She waited until everyone came into the classroom before greeting them.

"Hello! Thank you all for joining Young Entrepreneurs! Hopefully, we'll have a very good semester and make a little money, because that's what entrepreneuring is all about! Today, we're going to introduce ourselves by way of one of the most important items an entrepreneur can have: a business card. If you already have a business card, great! If you don't, there's some sturdy paper, pen, and markers, and you can make a makeshift one, with your name, what sort of business you're really interested in, or anything else you'd like to include. Mine has a little Turtle & Canary emblem in the corner, see? So let's take a few minutes to do that and then we'll just chat and stuff today!

"For next week, I'd like you all to think of lots of great ideas on what we can produce this semester to sell for the benefit of the club, okay?"

"If it falls out, I end up juggling it and putting on an even better show. Kids love that kind of thing," Dick said.

"You can't juggle paper," Turtle pointed out sardonically. "Not well, anyway."

Dick grabbed a few blank business cards, crumpled them up, and started juggling them.

It wasn't perfect since they didn't crumple quite as nicely as regular paper, but he felt that he had proved his point.

Turtle arched an eyebrow. "Those," she said, "have more weight to them; they'd be thrown better. And crumpling money is horrible! It's so disrespectful."

"The people on bills worked hard so that we might have the right to turn their faces into a ball and throw them in the air," Dick pointed out. "It would be even more disrespectful to let them hit the ground."
