[Imcamericorps] MLK Meeting Results

[Aaron Marley Johnson-Ortiz]

Hi All

I talked with Debarah McFarland at Don Moyer today, and although she  
apparently did not receive my email, she did sound interested in the  
MLK event.  She asked me to call her back next week to confirm, and  
see what kind of response she gets from the youth.

I'll let you all know,

>> 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,
>> Sam
