Fall 2008 Minutes

10/01/08

Accomplishments

• Learned how to set up demo plant last Friday
• We have at least one volunteer for each scheduled presentation
• Erica and Alissa discussed Wiki organization
• Discussed with Monroe past experience with fundraising, fundraising strategy in general
• Naryana has an Excel sheet of grants we could apply to.
• Rachael finished a draft of a solicitation packet

Outcomes & Issues

• Need instruction packet for Demo Plant Set up, doses of Alum and Clay
• FAQ need answered, the answers can help people doing presentations
• Tania is apparently also about to submit a proposal, so we need to talk to her, and see how ours compares
• We were thinking that it would be nice to have a newsletter for people who have been involved with the project to know how we are progressing.
• Google 10^100: We have 20 days to put together a convincing video clip for this competition. Because of the amount of money at stake this has been moved to our top priority

Action Items

• Narayana is going to help with editing the video, getting Honduras clip from youtube
• Erica, Jake, and Rachael will look for/think of main points we want to convey, how we want to convey them (pictures, footage), and narrative
