WIT 577 3/23/10 Oh Yeah!

Oh yeah, my other project... I've been forgetting to talk about this one. I said during one class meeting that I joined my school district's effort to be cleaner and help out with their recycling project. The overall project is going well. I had my class participate in the "see who could fill up the most recycle bags by the end of the week" part of the project and... we lost, but it was fun. We also participated in the old and broken cell phone drive. I'll let you know more about how it's going next time. I'm sleepy now... goodnight.

Quick update: Well, I missed the general body meeting, and since I'm on the executive council of my chapter, I'm just gonna slide my project through as if it had gone through the necessary measures (it would've passed anyway).

I've given the letter to some other council members to proofread. Hopefully it will be off to participants by this weekend and I will get some responses or at least some feedback.

we'll see what happens...

WIT 577 3/18/10

If you've been reading this, you've noticed that I messed up some of the dates, so I went back and fixed those.

Here's an update:

After I put together the letter to present my project to my organization, I presented it at an executive council meeting yesterday. Now the plan is to present the letter to everybody else at a general assembly meeting on Sunday. From there (if approved), it will be forwarded to other chapters of the organization in my district only. If not approved, the letter will be revamped. I will likely add some other resources (maybe a jing video or youtube video) to assist with familiarizing others with the process that I'm asking them to carry out. This effort will also be publicizes on the aforementioned platforms (wikis, facebook, myspace, yahoo groups, etc) in hopes of generating some interests.

Getting started is taking longer than I thought... and actully, when discussing this project with my chapter, it was mentioned that I may should seek clearance form the Grand Council (national administration) at this year's national meeting prior to continuing. However, we will just not do that and say we did and see what happens.

in a minute...

WIT 577 3/6/10

I'm back at it! So here's what I'm doing: Firstly, I'm merging the email accounts that will be used for each district's Posterous page into one email account. Then, I plugging that one account into Outlook. This way I won't hafta search all over the place to approve posts the each district's blog board.

I had to create some new email addresses b/c for some reason the one's I created with Aim.com have disappeared.

Also, have created a document (a letter really) that will be circulated to publicize and explain what I'm doing. You can see it here! (it looks better as a word document)

That's about as far as I've gotten. Gimme a few more days and I will have some more information for you.
