This Tuesday, bring to class your rough draft of your one pager.
We can review them and have a finalized paper by Sunday the 3rd. [Post your final paper onto the blogger then and Garrett will compile them all by Tuesday the 5th-- it's due the 7th, so we have time for last minute updates if necessary]
Also this Tuesday we'll discuss delegating.
As far as the action project, i'm being ambitious, but i really think it'd be admirable if we can pull it off.
In order of priority:
---> Get approval from Rader Pascarell & Barnard: 1) that we can make it a class field-trip, 2) if we could get NCC to fund renting the space and food catering & who to contact for that and 3) any other suggestions they have
--->Reserve Mason Hall and the Messe Conference Room [all on the 1st floor] & kiosks if we so choose
--->Create general e-mail with proposal & link to the website garrett created http://gmcguin.tripod.com/index.html
---> email the GMU organizations & upon their reply send them the google doc form to nominate their most inclusive people to award
---> create a logo and flyer to 1)Print [print services-on campus] & post around campus [JC, SUB I& II, Robinson, Residence Halls] 2) create FB event page with flyer as image and as photo so people can make it their profile pictures
---> make poster board with basic info on what we are doing and who we are & buy certificate paper to print out awards
---> Catering, decide from where and how much to get
---> Aside from student groups, invite political officials and candidates, grassroots organizations, creators of "9500 Liberty" [one of which is a mason alumn], Jelly Belly Co. [donation?]
---> Meet with org presidents to be sure they understand their part and are on the same page as us
Online work: tripod website [to explain], facebook group [to connect], facebook event [to gather], google group [to network], google form [to award], paypal account? [monetary donations from the public?]
Physical Work: picking up printed papers, posting flyers, meeting with orgs, setting up the space, MCing the event...
Funding:
-print services: flyers about 30 papers? & maybe the Award Certificates
-reserving Mason Hall & JC Kiosks: perhaps through NCC or another Org
-food: approved caterers http://approvedcatering.gmu.edu/approvedcaterers.html how much? of what?
idk if i forgot anything. yes, it seems like a lot, but it really isn't =] communication is key, keep CCing everyone whenever a contact is made, and when mass e-mailing the orgs, put it in CC, not TO b/c then the e-mail will be a bunch of e-mail addresses before it gets to the actual message.
We'll talk more later. I just wanted to get everything out of my head.
If each individual puts a good amount of effort into one of these components that they think they can best pull off then we can pull together our strengths and I don't think this will be terribly difficult. With that said, you guys be crazy!
ReplyDeleteFor reals though, I can start pretty soon with the online work, building on the website that we already have as well as creating a FB group and event and working with someone on a logo that can be used. I think the paypal donation system could easily be implemented on the website as well and we could ask the organizations that would like to participate to contribute what they can (Assuming NCC won't cover most of our expenses.) Chicka chicka yea!
