 * THE FOLLOWING ARE IDEAS FROM GROUP A's MEETING TODAY (2/4/10). THERE IS A LOT TO CONSIDER ABOUT EACH PROJECT, AND ALSO MUCH TO CONSIDER ABOUT WHICH PROJECTS TO FOCUS ON AND HOW TO MANAGE THEM.

SO... WE ARE JUST IN AN IDEA STAGE SO FAR, AND YOUR JOB IS TO LOOK OVER THIS LIST AND COME TO THE NEXT MEETING PREPARED TO BREAK INTO SMALLER GROUPS TO LOOK AT THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF AN IDEA YOU ARE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING FURTHER. **


 * Fort Collins organizations:**
 * **Partners: raise $$ and/or supplies for this organization that matches adults with kids who need an adult in their lives.**
 * **Boys & Girls Club of Fort Collins: raise $$ and/or supplies**
 * **Possible fundraising idea: Qdoba coupons**


 * St. Jude's Children's Hospital:**
 * **Make holiday and/or get well cards to send to the kids**

Raise $$ for the Humane Society by selling pawprints ("Dollars for Dogs") and making a trail of them through the school.
