What, Why, How & When: Semester Project Proposal

Over the past few days, Sharon and I have taken our original proposal and expanded on it. In doing so, we added tentative dates for each goal that we have. These dates are tentative because we know when we would like to have things done, but since we are working with such a broad group of people, and since our project relies heavily on the response of people to what we are doing, we thought it would be most appropriate to keep our dates tentative, and not too, too specific. We know what we want to do and we have a reasonable way of getting things done. Here is our plan:

GROUP
Jennifer Salane and Sharon Reese

WHAT
Public Relations Event/Fundraiser/Campaign: Will take place throughout the month of October
· Mission Statement (Why?): To collect books for a local school’s library, Providence Christian Academy, by hosting a fundraiser-type drop-in.

HOW:
Pizza Party/Small gathering to raise money and/or collect books: Tentatively, Nov.2 at 1:30 p.m. in the Daniel Auditorium
· T-shirts (Sharon)
· Advertisements (Jennifer)
- Flyers
Hung around campus
- A common-cause group creation (link to Providence Christian Academy)
www.Facebook.com
www.myspace.com (?)
· Publications (Jennifer)
- The Tiger
· Word of mouth (Sharon and Jennifer)
- At the beginning of our classes
- At meetings for organizations and clubs on campus
- Informing and then encouraging our friends to spread the word to their friends, classmates, and organizations

· E-mail (Sharon)
- Clemson University listserv

Notes:
-Everything will be designed by both Jennifer and Sharon, but each partner will handle their designated entities in order to divide responsibility and task fairly.

- We plan to further discuss these ways of reaching our target audience with Professor Holmevik over the next week to get his feedback.

- Each of these means of communication things are currently going into effect and will continue to be publicized until the end of October.

WHERE:
Collection will be held throughout the Clemson community
- Throughout October and on November 2
The party will be held in the Daniel Auditorium
- November 2 at 1:30 p.m.
