Post from the fundraising team

At this point we are really confronting some major decisions involved with improving the family’s home. At our meeting this afternoon it was great to see some of the ideas the space team has come up with and their reasoning behind them.
Some of my most recent activities have included contacting The San Luis Obispo Tribune and The New Times about donating advertisement space to help us with fundraising. I plan on sending them some more information about the cause, but so far it sounds like this is definitely something that they may be interested in. The SLO Tribune also prints a Donations and Volunteers section every Wednesday where non-profit organizations can list there contact and event information. It’s not a very big section but it is another channel to advertise for PolyHouse. I have also been in contact with past PolyHouse students to get their feedback on how they approached fundraising and I think we are headed in the right direction. As a team we have come up with a couple of fundraising events that we believe are feasible for the given time frame and will share more details at Wednesday’s meeting. I am really excited about the improvements to the design of the home that I have seen so far and can’t wait to see what some of the other groups have planned.
