Newsletter
- Put most exciting news at top?
- Brandon changed his mind about this
We got our first test copy of Happy in the Sun on December 17th, and then spent the past three months trying to find time in our busy schedules to finish the last few adjustments. We'll publish it next quarter for sure--in fact, we just sent off the revised version to get a new test copy yesterday!
Earth Day
- OnePagePlan goals
- Yellow: Have three booths
- Green:
- Have all three kindred organizations represented (plus ET Ag)
- Improve on last year's process for collection of contact information for interested visitors to the booths
- Super Green: Follow up with each contact we make within one week
- Possible giveaways
- Copies of Parable of the Sower
- Copies of "Happy in the Sun"
- Starfarer shirts
- Can we wear Starfarer shirts ourselves?
- Ask Mathew and Molly
- Also show them Ben's t-shirt design idea
- Plan for the galaxy planter?
- Could make it less well drained, but Brandon thinks we'd have to start over
- If Shelley waters it a little more diligently, it should be okay
- Sign-up process
- Have door prizes?
- Hanging basket with blue flowers
- But maybe we don't want a whole bunch of contact info?
- Have a laptop people can type the info into?
- Low-tech aesthetic is probably better

- Brandon wants to have a display about the Space Catapult and SBSP
