Rylie Riesberg 4/25/14

Today I worked on the presentation a little. I have been mostly contacting my partners for which part we are each doing and setting dates for getting stuff done. I have posted the flyer on Facebook and will also be setting my donation box out this weekend. I contacted the Carroll food pantry to see if they would like to partner with us in this project "Bowls for the Hungry" and maybe they will make a good donation to us also. Once we get that, we can finalize the posters and starting hanging them up. I have edited the poster a little also and have quite a few printed, but now edits have been made so I will have to reprint them. Mainly we just need to work on the presentation and get that done and hear back from the Carroll food pantry. I am excited to see where we are headed!

Rylie and I went and talked to Mr. Grundmeyer on Wednesday during homeroom regarding the fundraiser night. While we were talking to him, he gave Rylie and I some really good ideas. He thought we would raise more money if we just put an order form online. Due to this, we have decided not to have the fundraiser night as of right now. So, Rylie and I are working on that. I think we also decided to hold off on putting out our donation boxes. I have also sent out emails to the group to finalize our idea and get ready for the presentation. This past weekend, I made a sample of my product that I will be selling. It makes me a little nervous where we are at compared to the day we present. We just need to keep moving along and work hard to finish our project.

Today I made an online order form so people do not necessarily have to come talk to us to get an order form. I think this is increase our donations and money made. I also talked with Mr. Grundmeyer the other day with Sarah Roberts to get things finalized. We are somewhat changing our ideas. I hope soon we will get the flyers out and maybe donation boxes. I thought we were doing good on time, but now we need to hurry things up. For sure the flyers and the word needs to get out their so people are aware. I plan on updating our Facebook status to the online order form as soon as the online form is done, which I hope to get done over break. I will also be working on the presentation a little more. We have a gmail for this, so I will be putting that on the Facebook page soon too!

On Friday, I tried to work on some finalized ideas. I am trying to get things finalized because we present very soon! The goals for this week are to get our flyers up and around town. Also get donation boxes and order forms set out at different locations. I created my donation box, and it will be put out this week with a stack of order forms. I have also worked with Rylie by talking to Grundmeyer and Stribe to get the fundraiser night finalized. I purchased my supplies to start working on examples of my product that I will be selling. I am excited to get everything in place and get moving on the project! Below are pictures of my supplies and the front of my donation box:

Today I have added some questions and answered some questions our question page. I voted for the flyer I like better, but I think both are great! I worked a little on the Facebook page by mostly just inviting people to like it. Once we get the fundraiser date, I think it will be easier to promote because that's a key part! I also made a document about emails for Stribe and Gundmeir. I wrote half of them with just some ideas, but anyone can change it.
Today we have discovered that we are almost done with our project. We just need to complete a few things and find out when we can hold a fundraiser. Today, I answered a few questions on our questions document, and I asked a few, such as when we wanted our donation boxes done and set up. I have also added a picture on to our samples slide of our presentation to show what I can draw. I proposed that we meet Monday during homeroom just to double check we have a lot done.

Today I answered questions on our questions page and figured out what all needs to be done to finish. Mrs. McKenzie responded to my e-mail telling us to get in contact with Mr. Stribe and Mr. Grundmeir. We will contact them this week to talk about renting the facility and our fundraising policy here a the school. While we are doing that, we will finish up our sample products and donation boxes. We will post pictures of our artwork onto our Instagram, @imaginationtoreality, and to our Facebook page, CHS Art Department. After this we will have our plan finalized and be ready to present. I am really confident in my group and believe that we are making great time in finishing and finalizing our presentation and ideas.
