June Leadership Team Update
Happy (almost) Fourth of July!
Quick Exec Team Update From Carol
I can't believe it's already almost July and you all will be returning to Athens so soon! Time flies when you're having fun in the Konneker basement all summer. Since we are quickly approaching the month of August, I wanted to remind you guys to let me know if you will be here the week of August 14th. Exec still needs three more people to help us train for selling 50/50 raffle tickets at the football games! If you attend this training session you will get first pick on which two football games you work!
The second and last thing exec wants to update you all on, is our new event we will be having the week of November 6th-10th! BobcaThon will be holding an Awareness Week for the Ronald McDonald House! Most of you have probably heard a little bit about this from your VP's but to fill those of you in that have not gotten a chance to learn about this, the awareness week will be all about raising just awareness for RMH. We will not be collecting any funds nor really publicizing BobcaThon. The point of this week is to get students connected with our cause then to encourage them to join BobcaThon to help raise money for a cause they are already connected to. This week is going to be a huge team effort and we are already loving the ideas that you all have presented to us! We will have more details for everyone and more brainstorming when we are all back on campus!
Now onto what you all have been working on thus far:
External Affairs
- A huge shout out to Mallory for completely redoing and revamping our website! It looks amazing! She also has been killing it on the social media with all of the FTK Friday post, make sure you send in some pictures and encourage your friends who are dancers to post for their chance to be featured on the Instagram or twitter! Looking ahead at events you may all have and want video promotions made, all request will be made through Courtney who is creating a request form, she will send that out when its completed!
- Haley has been continuing to reach out to families and create some new connections with new families! If you know of any families that have benefited from RMH in Columbus that would be interested in potentially being an ambassador family please let Haley know!
- With the help of Clay, Jack has been working to set up a house visit for some members of Nationwide! They are both really excited to help further that relationship with a great sponsorship! Jack is also working with Courtney to help get us a wall of all things BobcaThon at the house!
- Swaggy P helped Mallory create a ton of graphics for the website! He also has been working some DRW promotional materials, post cards and some apparel for us!
Internal affairs
- Dancer Recruitment Week planning is well under way by Jessica! She has some great plans to show students on campus all about why we dance and why they should dance! Look forward to more information on all that as we get closer the start of school since DRW is just the third week of classes!
- Amy has been brainstorming and planning on how to get Learning Communities more involved and how to branch out to new organizations on campus to create a little more diversity within our organization! She has some great ideas to help us achieve more organizations signed up!
- Sadie has been hard at work getting song options from all of the Morale Captains! If you are interested in checking out the 60 (!!) song options search Sadie Rose on Spotify and look for her playlist called BobcaThon 17/18!
- Paige is working hard at getting BobcaThon onto the Greek Life calendar! She is also continuing to reach out to members of ADPi to help us build that relationship!
- Participants are gonna have a TON of ways to raise money on campus with the help of Abby! She has been brainstorming away on all different types of fundraising events that participants can help out with!
Planning Team
- Emily and Megan have begun to break down the first six hours of day of! They have some great ideas and have been contacting a few different LT members to help figure out what is going to be possible and won't be!
- Despite being in a different country for more than a month, Shawna has been hard at work brainstorming different ideas for day of things and 100 days celebration! She has some great ideas that are going to be huge hits at the different events!
- Clay has been crazy busy this past month contacting TONS of different companies to help us get more sponsorship's this year! Speaking of, HOW AWESOME IS IT THAT CLAY GOT US A CHIPTOLE FUNDRAISER! Can you tell I'm excited?
- On a not so fun note for you big spenders out there, Cody is continuing to work through numbers from last year to set up budgets for each director to work for the upcoming year! If you need to purchase anything over the summer, please email Cody and myself so he can approve it and so I can order materials for you since I have access to the P-Card in Athens!
- While being in Colorado, Gabby is continuing to plan some large scale fundraiser and some smaller scale ones to help us raise more money! She also has some cool ideas to help us collab with Greek Life for some fundraisers!
Quick To Do's:
- Email myself, (@ca195113@ohio.edu) if you are available to help out 50/50 raffle ticket training the week of August 14th.
- Register under the Leadership Team on firstgiving if you have not already done so!
