English 420, Business Writing

Although for this week, we were supposed to have everything done by Friday (4/18), our client wanted to postpone the due date and meet us on Monday (4/21) because they are busy on Fridays and he did not want to get distracted. Due to the changes, we were able to revise and update more information for our project.

This past week, our group got a good deal accomplished for the project. We got our contract signed, and the owner at Hungry's was all for everything we pledged to do for him, and as of right now we are all working towards completing those tasks. We broke the project down and gave each member somewhat equal duties. Tae is in charge of learning how to advertise within the residence halls. Steve is in charge of learning how to advertise on campus in general as well as advertising in our new student orientation program, Boiler Gold Rush.

This was another productive week for the team working with Hungry’s on the Service Learning Project. We finished the White Paper on Sunday and turned it in Monday. Joey was responsible for drafting the contract with Hungry’s, but the group had to meet once more to determine exactly what we would be doing for the business. Since it is a very young restaurant, they had a lot of needs, so we had to determine what we could do given our skills and the amount of time left in the semester. From here, we divided some of the primary deliverables amongst the group based on everyone’s experience.

I have attached the contract I drew up

Our team spent the majority of this week both finalizing our White Paper and preparing a proposal for our Service Learning Project. We have decided that we are going to try to work with Hungry's, a newly opened restaurant in the Purdue West shopping center. The manager at Hungry's seemed very happy to work with us, and that gave us confidence that we could develop a good working relationship with their organization. We are meeting today (Sunday,) with the intentions on finishing our White Paper as well as drawing up a contract to sign with the management at Hungry's.

This week, we were introduced to the Service Learning Project. We all brought some ideas together and came up with the Memo that was to be turned in on Friday. Fortunately, we already have a good idea who we want to work with. Early in the week, Tae went over and talked to the one who is in charge of Hungries, a new Chicago Style restaurant out at Purdue West. The manager has stated that he is willing to work with us so we feel that this is the route we will take.

Attached is a memo of our group's service learning project proposal. Please let me know if you have any questions.
