Week's Update

Today was a very productive week! I was able to meet up with James and go to a few locations to obtain items for the party raffle basket. Might As Well Grill donated to us many things, including money vouchers for the restaurant, a cup, hooded shirt, and a koozie. Adrienne and I also did another trip in which we received money vouchers for Chili's, as well as donated chips and salsa, and four free movie passes to Carmike Cinemas. I think that the raffle basket is going to be looking great! I am preparing the budget for the party that I will present to the class this upcoming Tuesday and my department and I have plans to work on all crafts for the party this following week. I am keeping my mind on all of the decorations that will be needed for the night of the party, as well as the logistics of when we all need to show up and who I need to have assigned for different duties. I know that everyone will lend a helping hand but I also want to be as prepared as possible for the day of. I am very excited to see how this party turns out!

Weekly Update

Last class I presented my first solo presentation about the Halloween party. The theme is Monsters and Aliens. We are going to have it at the Calico Room downtown. I asked the class to help me decide on a few details about the party, such as when it should start, if we should have a DJ, and what sort of raffle we should have. I didn't have a lot of time to both present and ask questions so I put up the polls on Facebook to receive answers. I even went over a few housekeeping rules, such as "behave like you're not insane." After giving examples of great decorations and what we could do for entertainment, I has the class sign up to bring in decorations. Rob O'Conner has stated that he will make a shooting game. I am so excited to see how this turns out.

Shannon did make a point that my theme for the party was good but it didn't connect to the bake sale theme, which was Star Wars. We decided that as a class we wanted to stay more true to the party theme, so we went with Monster and Aliens. My department has more planning to do now that this is the case, but I think that it will work out.
