Like I said, I emailed the head of the business department but I wasn't sure how serious she would take the matter, so I emailed a business professor from there that I know pretty well because his son was around my age and I always see him at the gym when I'm working out.
He says he loves the idea and he'll start looking into everything! Then he says that he may even have one of his classes help me out with everything as a project! For just starting this "company" and trying to get the first calendar out, I'd say that this is a pretty promising start!

It's going to be HUGE! Just wait and see!
I think everyone is just confused why this update wasn’t included in your original handicalendar thread. But, then I looked and realized that thread was full and not accepting new comments.

The professor just emailed me and said that he has a class that's interested in taking on the project!
We're going to start getting connected to get the ball rolling! I'm only 20 days away from the second dose of the vaccine so I'm not going to take the risk of meeting in person but I told him they could email me or start a group chat on Facebook!

Just had a Zoom meeting about it tonight with people from my college (which was tough since it was difficult to get them to be able to hear my communication device) but they had great ideas as far as distribution and discussions on things like whether to set it up as an LCC or non-profit!

Zoom meeting went very well! These college kids had tons of ideas and were pumped to get the ball rolling!
I'm going to pay the models (especially if they don't have any other income), pay the photographers (but they the ones I talked to said they'd do it for free), and then we discussed donating the rest to charities, so I gotta think about which ones I want to donate to.
A professor at UK (I just checked and it says he's at UK now which I had no clue because I presented to his class at NKU and then Xavier, so not sure when he went to UK) who writes for the school paper (and is published other places) interviewed me and then I gave him a few other people to interview- one guy with spina bifida, a girl with only one leg, and then a mom with only one leg.
I see a few people on my TikTok with Cerebral Palsy, so I think I'm going to try and get them involved.

I think I mentioned her but this hot military chick that's a quad agreed to be in my calendar commented on this other military's bro's post on TikTok. He's missing both legs below the knees, is built like a brick shithouse, and seemed pretty cool, so I figured why not and asked him to be in my calendar.
His response?

I doubt it because it looks like that calendar only was for one year, so why would I look for tips from someone who failed?
You could say you can ask them what they did wrong and what they could have done better, but (1) EVERYONE and their dead grandma knows that's NOT what you meant and (2) if they knew why they failed and it was a good idea, why wouldn't they have just changed up what didn't work the first time?

I think we're going to make some on large paper for people with sight issues and then some normal, some desk calendars, some wall calendars, and maybe pocket calendars.
As far as the proceeds, I'm conflicted because I want to pay the models with most of the proceeds, especially if they can't work much or anything, and the rest to charity. I think we're going to have the models pick out charities and then divide the proceeds up among the charities.
But I also know that some disabled people can't make too much money because then they lose their government benefits.
I don't want to make any money off of this. I want to make sure that the other models are taken care of if they have any financial needs.

Have a lot of models and my team and I just received email confirmation today from a printer that's going to work on the set-up and everything and might even be doing this for us for free, so it looks like my idea is coming to life!

I'm not taking any money but the other models will be paid a hundred or so (I wanted it to be more) and we're donating the rest to charities that the models have selected.
The girl with the one leg and 8 fingers just messaged me back and wants to drive up from Texas!
I figured she'd just take the pictures down there but she wants to come up! She said she can drive but I think I'm going to find a way to fly her up.

I was in the first photoshoot on Sunday and we're supposed to have most of the models up for the rest of the photos this Sunday but it's supposed to rain. I'm guessing that they'll just do the shots around the indoor pool.
