Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I have had issues with the firewall, but I think they are cleared up now.
The big focus of today's meeting was brainstorming for fundraising. Jacob is going to draft up a letter asking for support for our effort, it will then be bounced around between the group and finalized. We are planning on sending that out to different people and congregations. Each traveler will also be able to personalize a letter to their congregation.
Another big focus along with fundraising is just raising awareness of the trip, we plan on doing the in part by making posters and signage. (I just like the word signage- and for those of you who don't think that it is a word, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/signage) We want to put up the posters and signs in the Commons here at campus as well as send them out to various congregations and personnel. When we get snow (weird to have to say that in January in WISCONSIN!) we plan on doing some snow shoveling in the community.
Bake Sales: Just kidding, that's what girl scouts do, we are having a GRILL OUT! that's right, at this upcoming guys home game, Immanuel vs. Blair Taylor on Friday, we plan on selling freshly grilled hotdogs and hamburgers.
Yet another idea that we are contemplating is having tee shirts made, both for us, and possibly as a fund raiser. The designs still need work. . .
As far as trip planning goes, we are planning on making a couple of day trips, and if the fund raising goes really well, we hope to possibly maybe, go to Machu Pichu.
