Tuesday mini meeting and Bake sale Review

Everyone was in class for this meeting except Tony.
So we only managed to raise $52 at the Bake Sale and came away with 3/4 of a pie and quite a few cookies. Tony was upset about setting up alone and said the cookies weren't very good. Nick missed our message reminding him of the bake sale so he thoughtfully gave $10 to the cause. Thank you Nick, we forgive you =). On a positive note, Brittney's family donates to this organization every year and will donate through us this year! So we will be able to contribute at least $152.

Sunday (30th) Bake night


All the girls attended on Sunday to Bake pumpkin pies and cookies from scratch. Whew, did that take a loooong time. We made 5 pies and about 3 dozen cookies. We had alot of fun baking together and making a new sign. Nick, Tony, and Brittani are set to do the sale tomorrow 8:30 am till they either run out or feel finished. Last one guys!! =)

In - class Mini Meeting

Today we had a short mini meeting after class in order to touch base with one another. Cici called the Scotts Valley Church that needs volunteers to bag goodies. They called me back and told me some things that I will share with most of you next week. We discovered that we can volunteer for that as well as raise money for the Heifer we want to buy for a family in Africa, YAY! Everyone's happy. We got approved for our bakesale on Monday December 1st and will bake Sunday night. The bakers will be me, Cici, Norma and Char. We will also do our poster that evening. Brittani is supposed to find out about donated food from Gayle's, Hoffman's, and the Buttery.

Great Meeting Everyone!

Thank you all who attended,
The meeting was very productive and successful! We came up with some essential ground rules and decided to name a chairman every meeting to keep the group focused while giving everyone a chance to maintain control. So, for next time... Cici needs to find out the details about the Scotts Valley donation place, we need to ask Tony to set a school bake sale for Dec 1st and Brittani needs to find out about possible donations.

It was a great success, see you all Tuesday

NOW WE ARE ON TO PART 2 OF THIS CLASS. WE ARE NOT DONE YET- SO GET PUMPED! THIS IS A FRESH START. WE WILL ASSESS EACH OTHER AGAIN AT THE END OF THIS SEMESTER FOR THIS 2ND CHUNK SO THIS IS A CHANCE TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADE AND RELATIONSHIP W/ OTHER TEAM MEMBERS. WE WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN RAISING LOTS OF MONEY AND GETTING AN A ON THE PRESENTATION!!!! HOWEVER, WE HAD SOME CONFLICTS, FLAKINESS AND SOME DISORGANIZATION. IMAGINE WHAT WE COULD DO IF WE ELIMINATED THOSE ISSUES, AND REALLY WORKED TOGETHER AS A TEAM? WE WILL SUCCEED AND ENJOY ITS BENEFITS. INSPIRING? OH YES.

LASTLY-PLEASE COME TO MEETING IN A GOOD MOOD IF POSSIBLE. MOST OF US HAVE LOTS OF THINGS WE'D RATHER BE DOING, BUT SINCE WE ARE A TEAM AND WE ALL WANT A GOOD GRADE IN THIS CLASS, TRY AND MAKE THIS GO AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE. LET'S STAY FOCUSED AND ON TOPIC. LETS TRY TO KEEP OUR PERSONAL LIVES OUT OF THE GROUP (SINCE WE ARE WHAT SKYE CALLS "CO-WORKERS") SO WE CAN GET MORE WORK DONE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
