Hi Ladies,
Well class is tomorrow night and I haven’t heard from anyone or seen anything on the blog that said whether or not the clothing closet was even a viable project. I took the initiative and made some phone calls. The first place I called was the Career Learning Center. The receptionist said they do have a clothing closet and that Priscilla Noble is who I would need to speak to about it. I am waiting for a call back from her. The second place I called was Job Services. They also have a small clothing closet. I was told to speak to Gary Krauss about it. Again I left a message and am waiting for a call back from him as well.

By no means am I saying that this is the project I just think that before we can decide on a project we need to know what ideas are even options. The plan is that we will be deciding on a project tomorrow night. As soon as I hear from either of them I will email you all. I am planning on telling them who exactly we are (our group) and our mission and asking them IF we chose this project would they be open to our assistance and what their thoughts are. If they aren’t open to our project or as a group we decide to go a different direction with the clothing project we can always do that too.

I saw a few concerns about time commitments and my thoughts are that we should ask Linda Rabe on what her opinion is of how much time she believe would be required of a successful welcome committee. Any of the Board members that have done any kind of drives may also have an idea of the time commitment for a clothing drive.

I’m not sure exactly how we will be deciding tomorrow night but I could bring 9 ballots that says please rank in order of preference and then lists all the ideas and we could all vote that way?…let me know what you think.
