During Fall 2010, the outreach team spent most of the time on public relation materials. The team created a new brochure, a alumni newsletter, updated and translated the website, and also relations material. We tried to get the AguaClara Facebook page;updated so new members can join and it could be used to advertise outreach events, such as the concert. Old officers need to be contacted by new members, so that they can pass on their role and future outreach teams can update new information on Facebook. The Facebook page can be accessed here
Benefit Concert
In the past, the outreach team has organized benefit concerts at The Nines in Collegetown. The best way to do this is to call George, the music coordinator at The Nines, at 607-272-1888. The best time to reach him is 12-5 PM on Tuesday. During the event, The Nines will donate a percentage of sales to AguaClara, and we can decide to charge an admission fee which goes directly to AguaClara. In the past the admission fee has been $5. The Nines charges $120 to hire a sound guy for the concert which can be paid out of revenues at the event. All other expenses should be incurred by outreach team members out-of-pocket to be reimbursed after revenues have been collected. (AguaClara's proceeds) = (percentage of sales) + (admissions) - ($120 sound charge) - (reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses).

The Latino Studies Program may co-sponsor the event as they did for Fall 2010. They are interested in what Aguaclara does, and they can provide a graphic designer, free color printing, and more importantly, they will advertise the event through several listservs. For more information about it, contact Marti Dense at mfd1@cornell.edu(mfd1), the LSP program coordinator.
