2) Please make sure you have submitted your headshot and bio sheet to the book/postcard panel by Wednesday as well.

3) Keep up your Wii raffle sales, or start, if you have not yet done so. Zack sent an email earlier with the pdf file you each can print to facilitate sales. YOU MUST SELL EITHER $50 WORTH OF RAFFLE TICKETS! Submit your ticket ID stubs as well as cash to your marketing representative. The deadline to sell at least $50 of tickets is THURSDAY, APRIL 7. If you do not participate, you will be paying $50 out of pocket to cover your portion of book/postcard/venue expenses.

4) The deadline for submitting your image/artist statement for the book (8*10 inches, 300 dpi, jpg) is MONDAY, APRIL 4! Ask your book representative for more details if need be.




**The image should be 4*6 @ 300dpi in jpg format. You should include the image title, dimensions, medium, and year created for the back of the postcard. If you do not, the book/postcard panel may not have the time to chase you down before the deadline and you may not have a postcard printed.

MEETING TOMORROW 7PM

The meeting will be Monday, March 28 at 7:00PM, since it was the most widely available time for everyone.

See you then in Pollak 211.

THERE IS NO SENIOR PORT BANK ACCOUNT

Ok so I have gotten several texts asking what name to make out checks for the raffle. I just want to make it clear to the senior class that I HAVE NOT opened any bank account for our class. Kickstarter account is set to Kimberly Burgess's bank account she was going to withdraw the money after kickstarter was over.

also perhaps make it clear that if someone makes out a check or donation to the class that we have them address it to ourselves cash it and give it to Kimberly (or someone on the raffle committee)

Kickstarter

Kickstarter has 19 days left & $410 raised of the $1500 goal.

Post this link to your facebook, twitter, myspace, buddy profile, email, postcards, websites, etc. 

Let's get that $1500! it's free money people!

FILL OUT THIS DOODLE FOR NEXT WEEK

http://www.doodle.com/4i9xguvdmxwkiris


Only 7 people participated in the last doodle scheduling poll which was for a meeting intended for this week. Therefore, there will be no class wide meeting this week.

We need to schedule a meeting for next week for a time when the majority can attend. When we don't know your schedule, this is difficult. The doodle is meant to make this easier for everyone. Please fill this one out so we can plan a meeting for next week.

Bio Sheet Photos

So no only a few people showed up for Harrison's shoot for photos of ourselves. If you want a decent portrait of yourself for the book, email someone on the book panel. Otherwise they are going to use your VCU ID photo! ewwwwwww

So shape up and send them a picture!!!

Doodle for Meeting After Spring Break

http://www.doodle.com/thfqnb36aye8rrxu

Above is the doodle for next meeting.

Get Your Headshots Taken

Hey! I will be in the studio this Friday shooting for the Deans Office. If people need their headshots done tell them they can email me to swing by and I'll snap a portrait. We need these headshots for the biography sheets. If they want to choose their own photos that is fine. These will be due by the end of Spring Break. This is over a weeks notice to take a simple head shot. It shoulnd't prove to be that taxing. IF people do not provide a headshot or come by to be photographed, THE PERSONS VCU ID PHOTO WILL BE USED.. If people are not interested in that idea, I would suggest emailing me or getting a hold of one of the people in the BOOK group to set up something else.

Thanks,
Harrison

Event Panel: Catering Decisions

Passing along some information on the Catering Decisions

Catering Planned for the Panel Review:

Sandwiches from 3 Monkeys

Side dishes from Comfort

Plan is to be self-serve buffet

(Both places we could get discounts because we have employees that work there on the Event Panel! Jamie and Erin)

For the breakfast portion: arrangement of bagels and fruit, coffee and/or other beverages

Catering planned for the Final show:

Finger foods as been decided to be the best option.

The owner of Skilligalee has mentioned donating a cheese/fruit platter (Blair's boss)

TO SAVE $$ - possibly classmates contributing dishes

Potential Venue

During the meeting today we talked about the finding a space and seeing where we all stood with our contacts. Since only 3 of us made it to the meeting we decided to go out and re-canvas the area for a building. We found a new potential spot that looks very promising on the 900 block of west broad street where the old velocity comics building used to be next to the now out of business Tea company. We called and talked to the owner and hopefully can rent the space from her for a entire week for less than $500 dollars.


Thanks,

David Thompson

Wii Sales Team = EVERYONE IN SENIOR PORT

Everyone is officially recruited to sell Wii raffle tickets beginning now until each person in Senior Portfolio sells at least 10 raffle tickets. A spreadsheet has been started, recording each student's sales. If everyone sells the minimum number of tickets, we will make

$1000-$1450

This can be done on your own time, so there is no reason why there won't be 100% participation.
Remember, we don't want to get stuck with a Wii.

A reminder-----the tickets are to be sold at $5.00 per ticket and $7.00 for two raffle tickets.

Contact Christina Jeffers for more info, plus a ticket book and proper protocol for collecting money.

Kickstarter Video

Everyone,

Eric and Kimberly are going to be filming a promo for our Kickstarter account. This is required for Kickstarter and will be taking place Tomorrow, Tuesday, 3/8 in Pollak! They need 3-5 students to volunteer to be interviewed on the film.

If you are available from 12-4PM tomorrow, please respond to this post AND contact Kim at

804-339-5993

Volunteers will be recorded for this and every time a request is sent.
