Morocco-Week Four

In week four we finally began to promote our fundraiser, the car wash. There were jobs set, like Lizz and Clarisse making posters and flyers. Also, there became a group leader and writer. Samantha Bruce became and the group leader and I became the group writer. I had been writing down information from the past group meetings with the car wash group so it only seemed logical to assign me as group writer. I like the task, it makes me feel like were getting somewhere and I know that I'll do a good job at reminding people to bring in supplies for the car wash.

Each week when we meet it makes the trip seem more and more real, and I am so excited for the fundraiser. I think it will be really fun and possibly raise a lot of money. I have heard from a few classmates in the group that saying that the car wash is free but will accept donations is a lot more effective than having a price. They said that people have donated a lot more than the car wash would have asked for, I really hope it works. Also, I hope that people have been promoting the even with the flyers, I know I have. I have told a lot of family members and plan on going door-to-door in my neighborhood or if I can't put them on their front steps. One idea I came up with was to put the flyers in people's windshield whipers on Main Street. I think it would help a lot because obviously they've been to Hyannis before, possibly come there often, and probably knows where Sturgis is. It could bring a lot of people to the car wash.

One thing I'm sort of nervous about is there being an overload of cars at one point. I don't want them to leave because they're getting impatient and we aren't washing fast enough, but I have doubt that that is going ot happen. I'm also really excited for the itinerary meeting this week on the sixth because then we'll get to decide what we want to do, and I desperately want to stop at Spain (which I heard could be a possibility). I'm super pumped for this trip and the fundraising, the ideas sound amazing and so much fun. I think that we will be able to raise a lot of money because we know we have to and are deteremined, hard-working students that will stop at nothing to reach our goal.
