meeting recap

the meeting went really well last night and i think we've got a lot of energy in our group to really pull this thing off! i was correct in thinking that a local language book was $10,000 but then polly upped our goal to TWO local language books! i really think we can do it though.

we've got a couple places willing to donate a venue for the event. i think the leader is the oriental theater which is sort of in my new neighborhood and would be great but we do need to go check it out to be sure.

other possibilities are the funky buddha and the mercury cafe.

we've also got a few leads on bands/dj's...possibly a zimbabwe marimba band! how fun would it be to set the fashion show to that type of music? i guess i think it would be cool but i've never actually heard it so who knows!

polly's hairdresser (gordon of gordon's on 6th) has even offered to do all the hair for the fashion show!

everyone left the meeting with tasks in hand. mine are to put an email together to the volunteer list to try to recruit some people to a general information meeting on February 12th so we can get some more help. right now there are only four of us so we definitely need more hands to pull this together.
