[Imcamericorps] MLK Meeting Results

[Aaron Marley Johnson-Ortiz]

Hi All

I sent Don Moyer an email today, and I'll see if they respond.  If  
not, I'll follow up with a phone call.

Thanks for a productive meeting.

> Hi Carol,
>
> I thought I would fill you in on what we talked about today.
>
> We have two options for MLK day so far. One is to bring children here and do
> 2 possibly 3 workshops with them. The other is to go paint for Housing
> Authority.
>
> First is that Aaron agreed to call B&G Club and ask them the following
> questions
>
>          1) What they are already doing for MLK day if anything.
>           2) If they have kids in an appropiate age range for us (9-14)
>           3) If they are interested in partnering with us for this event
>           4) If they can provide transportation for them to come here
>
> These are all conditional things. When Aaron hears back from them we can
> proceed accordingly. Ideally we would want around 15 kids.
>
> The 2-3 workshops would include:
>
>           1) Building a Simple Noise Synthesizer with Brian
>           2) Learn-a-Bike with Carl
>           3) (Pending) Something to do with Dr. King. Suggestions for this
> include a short movie, a discussion with them about him (asking them what
> they have learned about him), or sharing fun little known facts about him
> with them (did he have a pet? what was his favorite food? and other fun
> things they would not normally learn in school)
>
> If this workshop thing does not work out (much of this is dependant on
> Aarons discussion with B&G) we will use the Housing Authority paint project
> as our fall back plan.

> Thanks,
