Sunday Meeting

So this past Sunday Delia, Joshua and Christina met at Mama Margie's to discuss further plans about how we wanted to extend our business to where it stands on its own. The idea we came up with was to have a consulting business almost like a PR firm. We would be hired through contracts to develop a social inspired project for small businesses. It would make it easier for the business to hire someone to do the work for them and eventually set them up to the point where they can manage this project on their own. We thought that there are several small businesses that want to do something for the community they just dont have the time to do it. Other then making donations small businesses typically dont have the time to invest in these projects they would like to start and it falls to the bottom of there priority list. So the goals of our business are to target small businesses, change the community a little at a time and create revenue from these contracts. As of now we haven't thought of a business name were hoping that will be decided in our storyboard session.
We also discussed the possible ways of crowdsourcing the stories for the grandfather project. We need to discuss with Nick the times that it would be best for us to be in the restaurant to talk with his patrons. We also know he would like his staff to be involved with this project so we will need to setup a time for that as well. We figured it would be best if we had two group members at a time recording stories. One person can record while the other talks. We want to develop a script or list of questions to make people comfortable talking to us, as well as giving us there contact information in case we need a follow up.
Another idea we had was to have everyone we know with great stories come together one day for a few hours and just share the stories they have and we could film it to put on the website or into the book.
We went over the topics that will need to be discussed in the storyboard session. The website, stories, product, buget/finance, and crowdsourcing. There are probably more we need to look at and hopefully with everyone there we can come up with everything we need. This should be exciting for everyone. Nick is giving us the space we need to post stuff and write everywhere, so it should defnately be fun. Joshua plans on bringing his camera to record it all and I will bring my camera so I can post pictures on the blog. We are really excited to see how it all turns out.
