We finished our rough drafts last week and are going to show them to Shannon tomorrow at 2pm. In this meeting, we hope to get her opinion on what we need to correct and what she likes and dislikes about the design. After this meeting, Andy will have the title that Shannon would like for the Facebook group. He will then be able to put together the group. Brittany, Jamie, and I also will need to revise the rough drafts to fit the YWCA's needs. I think overall Shannon will be happy with our work.

This week, we started working on our rough drafts. I created the inside of the brochure that we are making, and Jamie created the front side. The brochure incorporates all the elements that we discussed with Shannon White. It tells what the after school program is, why you should volunteer with the YWCA, and finally it has a part that you can tear out and send in to the YWCA.

This week, we finally were able to meet and talk with Shannon White, the Executive Director at the YWCA. Our original proposal included making flyers and promoting the Y-Dance recital in May. However, since it is coming up so soon, she had already had people working on everything for that. Then, she brought up more ideas. She really wanted us to brainstorm on ways to get people involved with the YWCA, especially volunteers that have special hobbies that could teach children to play the piano, dance, etc.

Here is the first draft of our contract.

Attached is a copy of our service learning project proposal.

This week our team met twice in order to begin working on the Service Learning project. We were able to contact our organization and complete the proposal for class on Friday.

We had originally brainstormed three different companies/ organizations that we considered working with for the remainder of this project: Capp & Gino's, YWCA of the Greater Lafayette area, and the Boilermarket. During our first meeting of this week we decided to work with the YWCA. So it was my responsibility to contact the YWCA and introduce our group and our services.

Attached is our group memo for the service learning project.
