We did IT!!!

[Karla Morrison]

YAY Food_ASAP!!!!!

Saturday was a great event!  Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice to make it possible.  We were able to serve smoothies to approximately165 Spring Fling attendees (which for a rainy Saturday is not bad at all).

Now we want to do follow-up emails thanking the volunteers and the donors and include photos.

1) I will follow-up with Kezia and Shantae and see if I can get some photos.

2) Who can write the thank you email to the volunteers?

3) Who can write the thank you email for the donors?  (Btw we spent $27 of the $55; the rest will go to DCCK)

Thanks Chasity for speaking with Kelly Miller (I am guessing you are on the call now).  Let us know how it goes.  Sorry to hear about your phone :-(  That sucks.  

Thanks again guys!  One more event to go!

Hi everyone!

 

I can write the thank you to the donors...I can add a few of the pictures into the email....I think it makes sense for someone at the event to write the emails to the volunteers....

 

I guess we are still meeting tomorrow night at my place of work at 7pm.  Let me know if you can't and maybe we can do a call-in instead.

 

Chasity, any word on the event next week?

 

Karla, what should we do with these pictures?  Is there a place on the CC website to have them?  Is there going to be something at the Changemakers' Brunch that we can upload these to, or show them somehow?  Anyone else going to that?

 

Hope everyone is well!

Hi Everyone!

There's currently a training going on behind me on our new copier, so I will be giving Mr. Hobbs a call once that is done. 

Also, I won't be able to make the meeting tomorrow due to a conflict.

Hi everyone!

 

Why don't we just do a conference call then?

Thanks Jean!  Conference call it is.

Chasity- were you able to touch base with Mr. Hobbs yesterday?  If not, we can a) have someone else contact him or b) move forward with the other school.  We have to make a move on this today as we are now less than a week away and our deadline was Monday.

[Chasity Cooper]

I gave him a call yesterday and left a message. I'm going try calling him again at 11:30 this morning and if I don't get an answer or speak with him, I'll let you all know immediately so that we can move forward to a new school. 

[Karla Morrison]

Thanks Chasity. 

[Chasity Cooper]

I've got sent to voicemail twice today, so who knows when he will respond. I think it's best if we go forward and see if we can work with the other school for next week...

[Karla Morrison]

Thanks Chasity.  Sorry it did not work out.

Jen, can you get in touch with DCCK or do you need someone else to reach out?

It's a go at Kelly Miller!

After playing phone tag with Mr. Hobbs for most of the afternoon, we have permission to have a table in the cafeteria next week during their lunch periods -- YAY! :) 

All that I have to do now is send him (along with the other assistant principals and principal) an email outlining what we hope to accomplish during that time frame (which is 10:40 AM to 1:20 PM)

YAY! :) 

[Karla Morrison]

Woohooooo!!!  Go Team Food_ASAP!  We did it!  Thanks Chasity.

Also, Saturday's event was mentioned in the CC Newsletter that went out this afternoon.  :-)

Chat later!

Not a problem! Below is the email I will be sending to Mr. Hobbs momentarily (he wanted to get an idea of what we will be doing the day of.) Let me know what you all think:

Good Afternoon Mr. Hobbs, 

It was great to finally speak with you on the phone this afternoon! Thanks so much for your support in the Capital Cause team, Food_ASAP in our effort to educate Kelly Miller School Students on the importance of healthy eating. Our sole purpose of connecting with Kelly Miller students is to potentially reach our target demographic (Ward 7 residents)  ni order to reinforce the importance of eating fresh and healthy foods. Below you will find a detailed itinerary of what our participation in Strawberries and Salad Greens day on next Wednesday, May 29 will look like:

10:15 AM - Team Food_ASAP and other Capital Cause volunteers will arrive to Kelly Miller

10:15-10:40 AM - The team will set up its informational table that will consist of talking points, brochures, table decor and other information used to engage with the students

10:40 AM - 1:20 PM - Team Food_ASAP will speak with students during their lunch period about different delicious recipes that include strawberries and salad greens, the nutritional value of both and where students can find these fresh foods in their neighborhood. 

1:20 - 1:35 PM - Team Food_ASAP will clean up their information station and head out for the day!

Thank you so much again for your help in our endeavor to connect with your students and empower them to make healthy choices. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. 

Have a great day!

Chasity
