Poster Planning at SOI

Today, we discussed our ideas for posters, because we have decided that we are all going to make special organic posters to hang around the school, giving details about the organic lifestyle and such things. I am going to be working with Marissa making one about "organic myths." We decided that we should make the posters on computers, and we will send them to Jade, who is going to print them out as very large posters. This way they will stand out more than the empty pieces of paper floating around on our school walls. I will be researching organic myths so that on Monday during our food festival, we can all discuss these things.

Real Planning at SOI

Today at SOI we talked about how on Monday only one person who had signed up to do a bake sale actually brought things in for the bake sale. I think this taught us a bit of a lesson, and showed us how important every member of the group is. I think from now on we will be able to collaborate more effectively, and we are going to send out reminders for when we have bake sales. We also decided to only have bake sales on Fridays for now, but in the future we want to try and maybe take over the school's office bake sales and make everything organic.

The Monday before thanksgiving we are planning to have an international organic food feast, as a pre run for a food feast we are planning during mid-terms. This feast is only going to be the SOI people, but every single member is designated to bring in something. I hope we collaborate and make this work.

SOI

Today, not too many people showed up to SOI, but we discussed some issues which we found out about. Apparently the school has decided bake sales are unhealthy, so we have decided to come up with an alternative bake sale approach, selling fruits, and hummus, and other sorts of things. I will be working the bake sale next Friday. We also decided that we should make awareness posters, and we were divided up into groups of three people to do this. We have to come up with ideas for our posters by the next meeting, and then we will move on to making the actual poster itself. I am excited to get doing this, because my ideas will begin to be expressed.
