We started off the day a bit split. Some members of our group wanted to focus on interviewing veterans, and others wanted to stick with the paintball event. We hashed out our ideas a bit, and ended up finding a solution.
Half of our group from now on will mainly be working on interview segments and the other half will be working on working out all the details for our fundraiser. For our fundraiser we've decided to hold a sort of special day at a paintball park with the proceeds going to support wounded veterans. We also want to show interview segments at the event.
We've email a prospective host for our paintball day and we really hope we can work with them. They seem to be the perfect host, and we think the day will have a real impact. Hopefully we'll hear back from them soon!
We've also set to work to find more people to interview and more stories to share.
Today we're really broken down what we want to do, so we can divide and conquer and get more work done. We still have a lot to do, but now that we've assigned jobs to each person, we'll make a lot more progress.
PS: Michael Schlitz part III coming soon
As painful as it may have been, today was your reality check. Your project has had a number of different iterations and each time you have had to step back, analyze the potential and then go back to the drawing board. This is a useful exercise and one that happens in many collective endeavors. Today, you decided that the scope of your project was too big and overwhelming. I applaud your honesty and think that the new idea is much more doable. I also think you will enjoy it more. I am very excited about seeing you dig in and bring your project to life. The paintball day at the course at Camp Pendleton sounds great. Also, your work with the interviews with Wounded Warriors serves to raise awareness of these courageous men and women who have paid a great price for protecting this country. Stay focused and I'm sure you will have a lot to be proud of by the end of the year.
