This week was the final week of our client based service learning project. We were glad to get the final documents turned in and the presentation taken care of, because it is one step closer to the end of the semester! This week, our group met on Sunday night at 8:30pm in the Union to put the finishing touches on our documents, get them printed, and figure out how we were going to present. The meeting was really fun, and we talked about how we are going to miss each other once the semester is over. Cedric brought us all pizza from where he works (Pizza Hut), and then bought us Starbucks coffee too. The meeting was really relaxed but still productive. We only had a few changes to make to our documents, and then we talked about the presentation. We decided that Filip would introduce us, and then Eric would talk about the brochure we made since he worked on that part with Filip. Cedric and I worked more on the mass mailer, so we talked about that in the presentation. My part was shorter than Cedric’s, I just talked about the layout and chose to do the things we did for it. Cedric was more specific, and talked about the mail merge and what we tried to include in each paragraph to make it specific. He also talked about the specifics that Mr. Cupp had given us to use in the mailer, so that it would be clearer to the class why we chose the things we did. We volunteered to present first on Monday, and then arranged to meet up with Mr. Cupp on Tuesday night to present him with our work. Cedric, Eric and I went to his house at 9pm. Filip couldn’t go because he had another meeting. When we showed him what we had done, he was very happy. He took the extra brochures we had printed out so that he could give them to the rest of the members of the GLRSA board. We told him that we would be getting him a CD with the brochure and mailer on it so he could edit it for future seasons. We also explained to him how to do a mail merge. Overall our group had a good time doing this project, and we really see how it applies to business writing in our future.
