Project 1 Update

The project has been going well, for the most part, after we took some necessary changes in our project. We have stayed on the concept of throwing a pizza party for the hall who has the cleanest bathroom. Our group still likes this idea and want to continue with it, but there has been a minor roadblock in this plan. Last Tuesday Carly and myself went to hall council to give the idea about the pizza party. Carly, who is the treasurer, is in charge of all the costs and accounts that hall council has. The problem was that there was not enough money in the account that we needed in order to the throw the pizza party. This definitely posed a problem for our pizza party idea. Carly also talked to the building director about this idea once we had found out that there was not enough money in the account to have this party. We have not gotten much feedback yet but we are still set on this idea and will do what we can to go through with it. I feel that something we could do in order to get enough money for the pizza party could be to just come up with the money ourselves amongst our group. I feel that at most every person in our group would have to contribute $5 or more. Another idea that was brought up was to try to have the pizza party for the cleanest hall in another dorm. Since there are three people in our group from the same dorm, Cathy brought it upon herself to mention the idea of the party at her next hall council in her dorm. Once again we have not heard back yet about if it is a possibility or not but hopefully this can be our alternative plan. Our group is hoping for the best and we are trying to take the necessary steps in making our goal of the pizza party a reality. This project has definitely taught me a lesson in that it takes a lot of hard work to get any goal accomplished, no matter how big or small it is. I am just hoping that the efforts that our group has made will be appreciated and hopefully will be continued in the future.

  1. Why don't you do a fundraiser?? My goodness. Don't let the lack of money stop you. You could do so many creative things to come up with some cash aside from your group pitching in! I wouldn't do that. What if you ran this contest like a lottery or a football pool where everyone in the dorm contributes $1 and the winning floor gets the pizza. That way, everyone has a stake (at least a small stake) in the outcome. And there are lots of other ideas. Use your creative thinking skills!
