Panera Brainstorm

Today for volunteership we decided to take a brainstorming field trip to Panera Bread. We discussed what our plans were with Border Angels, why we had decided to volunteer with them, and how we thought we could help them. We also came up with quite a few fundraising ideas that we hope will benefit the organization. So far the one that we think will be most successful is renting a dunk tank and having sort of a "carnival" at school. We had one of these at High Tech Middle when I was a student there and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. The only setback is that the cheapest one we can find is around $3000. Without the money that the event would raise, we in no way have the means to actually rent it. So we went simpler and talked to Isabel about possibly just having a food sale. Isabel also asked us to bring any old men's clothing that we have to be donated to the homeless migrants who live in the canyons. Everyone seemed to be really engaged today and I'm hoping that we don't lose that as we get closer to our 40 hours!
