Promoting and Reaching Out

After a week or more of compiling ideas and information from my committee members, I feel as though we have all the necessary components for creating a successful fundraiser. My group members are definitely knowledgeable, reliable, and experienced when it comes to outreach and promotion. We have made plans to set up blogs, a Facebook page, newspaper ads, and all sorts of media related informational sources. On the other hand, we plan on reaching out to the community members, local business owners of both Baybrook and businesses near 2640, and even the mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake by using word of mouth paired with flyers and Save The Date concepts. After hearing the plans from the other committees (History and Event Planning), I'm blessed to have such a hard-working and knowledgeable group of people in the same classroom. Everyone is on top of their game and contributes creative ideas that will promote an amazing fundraiser. 

I really need to focus on establishing a convenient schedule that enables me to be present in the Baybrook community because actually interacting with the people will make the fundraiser even more real. Yet, I'm excited to reach out to mayor Rawlings-Blake for both making an appearance at the fundraiser and possibly making a contribution to our cause. It seems as though the mayoral election has been pushed back to 2016, which gives her more time to attend Baltimore City events and win the hearts of it's citizens.
