The night before the team had anticipated going to The Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare Foster Care and Adoption in Milwaukee County because we are really interested in helping this cause in a number of ways...and getting others involved. This fell through however, because the directors we needed to talk to were not in. So plans for that were pushed off to Day 3. (You never know what to expect really. Not everyone is on our time schedule, but we'll be patient.)
Other phone calls were made (some to the Bureau for more information, some to get a hold of more ways we can spread our message). We started work on an article about our group and its mission...for our school newspaper. More progress had been made regarding the bank account, but it was not fully set up. Some kinks still have to be worked out.
Our group met once again for another late conference. This time we were determined to piece together a slogan and mission statement. We got it! And we like it!! Our mission statement was sent in for approval, but we thought it best to already post it on our blog and on the Facebook group we started and edit it later. People were already joining the group like crazy, which is wonderful!
One of our group members whipped up a nice design with our slogan that we could possibly use on t-shirts or something to sell for support. Great idea!
Day 3 was already fast approaching by the time we finished our meeting. But we're willing to put in the work. This is a magnificent cause! We don't feel like this a competition even, just because we want all the other teams to do so well and make an impact.
