Today consisted of a lot of organizing and of emailing. It was a took a long time but on the bright side we now have a date set for our event, January 18th 2014. We also consolidated our project mission and organized our website. It was nerve wracking sending out these emails, I don't think we've ever been this apprehensive to click the send button! Anyways, it's done now and all we can do is wait.
We worked on our pitch for our project as well, and emailed several contacts and companies (Extreme Pros Paintball, HK Army, Long Beach Paintball Team, and Wounded Warriors) about our event.
We also called our contact Brynn, who gave us the phone number for a guy who works directly with wounded warriors who can hopefully get us people to interview.
We've worked for a while, and accomplished a lot. The first shots have been fired, and this project is taking off.
Ha, love the video--and great to hear that Stephanie got some experience with a paintball marker! It sounds like you all accomplished quite a bit today! Just remember that when you're posting your blog updates you need to be specific about what you've worked on and accomplished (try to avoid vague phrases like "a bunch of work"). For instance, when you say that you've consolidated your project mission and organized the website, what exactly did you do? When you sent out emails, who exactly did you email and for what purpose? Remember, outside the panel of Ms. Sefami, Mr. Thomassen, and Mr. Jorden, people don't know who you are and what you're trying to accomplish. Give specific details so that anyone reading can follow your progress.
