"Phone" Meeting!

     I just got off the phone with Maggie for our first official meeting! It went GREAT! I am even more excited to start my project now that everything is organized and I know when I will be volunteering in Louisville over break. 

Here were the key points in our conversation: 

Mini Projects around the BLC

      1) Library (TOP PRIORITY)

               -  needs organizing, cleaning, & updating

               -  update the collection (donation opportunity)

       2) Class Materials (PRIORITY)

               -  organize supply boxes in classrooms & list what should be in them

                       *from here, identify what supplies are needed (donation opportunity)

       3) Manuals

               -  type social networking & word document use manuals, step-by-step, for students

       4) Guitars

               -  the center offers guitar classes; however, the center does not OWN a guitar for the students to practice on (donation opportunity)

Donation Opportunity

I told Maggie about my idea to hold a drive within my school, church, or county to get some of the most-needed supplies that the BLC needed, and she was totally up for it! While she was presenting the mini projects to me, she would mention, "This could be a part of your drive..." So, here are those ideas:

         1) Books: update library collection w/ book drive (**books can be English or Spanish; need resource books; if don't "like" the books, they sell them and give the money back to the center)

         2) School Supplies: after I organize the supply boxes, Maggie and I will identify what items are missing or need more of (items would include school supplies like notebooks, highlighters, pencils, etc.)

         3) Guitar: she would like to have at least one for the students to practice with.
