Passion Project Update


This last week I have made some progress on my baseball equipment drive. Blake and I went and met up with Vince Chelena to pick up the large bins and banners for the drive. While we were picking up the materials from the warehouse, Blake got a little footage of the process that can be used for our service via video project. I also finalized the dates for the equipment drive and contacted administration in the high school and middle school. I have recieved confirmation for announcements to be made at the high school, but no response yet from the middle school. It has only been one day so I think I can wait a little for the response. 
I am going to set up the collection bins outside the main office at the highschool and middle school. I am doing this just incase somebody tries to steal any stuff out of there (I doubt anyone will, but just to be safe). I also had one of my classmates make a really good flyer to promote the drive. I'll need to scatter those around the school and ask teachers if they can advertise them a little in class. I'll also need to ask some of my old teachers from middle school to advertise the drive to their students. I don't think flyers make an impact unless someone actually advertises them in class.

Video Project

In class we'll be working on a video project to promote different foundations. Fortunately I get to do a video for the foundation I'm working with for my end of year project. I am working alongside Blake Washburn and surprisingly Jacob Costa. Both of these dudes know way more about video production/editing than me, so that will help me out a little bit. 
Vince Chalena came to speak to our class Wednesday about the history of Turn Two for Youth and gave us an idea for what he wanted in the video. He would like to see us make a video on how to become an "ambassador" for the foundation and how to donate baseball equipment. His presentation went well and I'm glad to be working with him. He is apart of the "baseball family" and I know exactly how that life works. 

-Below I included a grizzly bear because of how strong and majestic they look. It relates to Turn Two for Youth because of how strong they're message is and the majectic feeling you get when you can give the gift of baseball to someone.
