Hey guys! So we've been working out some details and we have some fresh information for you this week! We have gotten a few answers to our emails that Savannah sent out about our location. We currently have a pending yes from the Bethalto Public Library and the Edwardsville Public Library. We are waiting on a response from the Hayner Public Library in Alton. So considering this information we could potentially have a location for our event set up by next weeks blog! YAY! We have also been coming up with some ideas for advertising. So far we have gotten some rough drafts/outlines set up and an idea of the way we want to arrange our information. Savannah has currently been working on the designs for our flyers and they are looking great! We will most likely begin advertising by next weeks blog, or at least have our flyers printed. But that all depends on if we get a definite place set in stone. If things keep running smoothly, hopefully our event we will be able to get our event up and rolling within a few weeks! -Madi

Hi sisters! We have been working on some things since last weeks blog. Savannah has began contacting some locations and we have gotten turned down a couple of times, but that's okay! We still have yet to hear from the few other places that we have gotten a hold of. Morgan and I will most likely begin brainstorming ideas for advertising our event. Although we have yet to set up our location for the event, we will just add those details in later! While we work on poster and flyer ideas, Savannah will continue to search for a place we can host at. I think that if we work out some details on the amount of people and things like that then maybe we will be able to find a place easier. We will most likely have sketches/drafts of poster and flyer ideas by next weeks blog so hopefully you guys will get to see those! We are thinking that each of us will come up with an idea or two and then we can compare our ideas and hopefully put them together to create some great flyers for advertising our event
-Madi Hi everyone! So this is the first of the many blogs to come, I will blog weekly. So just a little introduction to myself and our project. I'm Madi a student at Civic Memorial High School and I am working with my two group mates, Savannah and Morgan on our 20 time project. For those of you who don't know what a 20 time project is, it is a year round project that our English teacher has assigned in which we get 20% of time in class to work on it and we have to benefit/influence the community in some way. So to sum up the goal of our 20 time project, we are basically working to expand the poetry community by putting on spoken word poetry slams and open mics. We are currently trying to find a location to hold our first event, once that is accomplished we will start advertising! Our hopes are that we will be able to hold our first event at the Bethalto public library, but if that is unavailable, we are hoping to find a restaurant that will allow us to hold an open mic. My job in the group is to begin advertising, which I will be starting as soon as we have our location set in stone. In the group as a whole I feel that we will need to educate ourselves more on advertising and hosting an event as well as making a website, because none of us have much experience with these. Also, since this is my very first blog post I unfortunately do not have any photos to share with you. I should have one for next weeks blog though! -Madi |
