So about fund-raising ideas....
I'm not so sure how the walk-a-thon works...
But a steak sandwich sounds good to me. Also, I will try to talk one of my bosses into providing some shirts/sweatshirts or climbing passes for the scholarship fund-raising. If that doesn't work, we could try talking to Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company for some beans/gift cards.

-Climbing deals
-Coffee?

What ya think?

Also, here is an idea for our logo. Of course it needs work, but this is a start.

Fundraising Idea's for Cx Scholarship

Hey guys. Go ahead and list any ideas that you may have so that we have a starting point to elaborate on next week... Good Times.

Here are some suggestions that I have already heard come up through discusion/came up with that I know about:

1. Steak Sandwhich Sale
2. "A-Thon" Event- Ex. Walk-A-Thon, Dance-A-Thon, etc.
3. On campus dodgeball tournament. Funds come from team entry fee.
4. Raffle

That's all that I have heard of/came up with that I can think of right now. I will add more when I think of them.

*VERY IMPORTANT: I was able to find out the Cabrillo College Tax ID #. This is awesome because this will make getting donations SO much easier. All we will need to do is write up a document that explains who we are, and what our purpose is.

Good To Be On Board

Hey everyone! I think I'm getting the hang of this? Like the Blog, its looking very solid.

K, I think I've got it, yeah? Can you see this?

minutes from 1st meeting

Hi Everyone and welcome to the Blog.

Meeting Minutes:

After much discussion we decided on 2 goals for the group.

Goal #1 is to raise money for the renting of the theater for the Spring Fling. Our goal is $1500. We will do this by contacting the Student Senate as well as other groups on campus who may wish to support this event.

We must prepare a detailed breakdown with facts, figures and talking points for our presentation to the senate. First step is to interview Skye regarding past Spring Flings.
(questions dealing with attendance, diversity, costs, student learning outcomes, etc.)

Goal #2 is to present a special scholarship which will go to a young person who currently is not eligible for the BOG but also receives minimal help from parents or guardians.

Committee members must develop a rubric for grading the applicants. (need, grades, age, comm. skills, etc). A plan to promote the scholarship should be devised as well as a detailed fund-raising plan to gain the money.

The idea was floated of a BBQ on campus. (steak sandwiches, hamburgers, etc.)

Would Pepsi donate drinks?

Finally the leadership book was discussed. We are leaning toward the "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" (256 pages) Available on Amazon for $2 plus shipping.

Here is the link:

Thanks one and all for a great first meeting.
