Week 5 and 6 (Spring)

I forgot to post an Activity Report last week (oops!)

Nonprofit Week 5

Helped organize the Nonprofit Panel into its materialization. Remained in contact with Courtney Williams and CCBLA throughout the process to ensure its success. Helped create the outline questions to ask the panelists and created name tags for them as well. Arrived early to the panel to help organize the room and greet panelists. Big thanks to all of those that helped!

Nonprofit Week 6

I have recently joined the Centralia Downtown Association and am a member of its Design Committee. I am working on an Adopt-A-Block program where I will be organizing local businesses in adopting local city blocks for a competitive, friendly clean-up program for the local downtown area in Centralia, WA. The Design Committee meets again on May 19th where this will be discussed further.

Food Systems Week 5

This week was rather stagnant, as a group we last left off awaiting word on gaining access to a garden plot on the Evergreen garden but communication has somewhat fallen off and time seems to be running out. Also, Cesar Chavez documentary presented by the Olympia Film Society!

Food Systems Week 6

I am deciding to work on a private project, I am using Courtney Williams's connection through Lewis County Head Start and am organizing presenters to come to the classroom. I will be contacting the Lewis County Bee Keeper's Association and professional chef, James Wheeler, whom forages the local forests and natural areas to implement the natural environment into his cooking and asking them to present to the early childhood education classroom. This is a great platform to be used not just for Food Systems and Head Start is more than accomodating in such projects.
