2nd email from Bron

Oh and I have already talked to the Wetlands Festival Committee, and they are happy to have your stall there to run this, but the cost will be 20% of the profit that you make for the day, as that the festival is to raise money for our school. But they think that it is a great idea and would like to support InSYNC.

Email from Bron

Hey Karen,
We thought that we would try and run it through the arts committee instead of the boys committee, but they are very busy leading up to the wetlands festival. So what i am doing is just going to put the proposal through to our principle and then just running it anyway. With any luck I should have this sorted within the week, but that depends on how fast I can get in to see the principle.

If we need 2 full days, then I suggest Sundays (if that works) if not they will most likely have to run in the afternoons, as the majority of the school is involved in sports that happen throughout the day on Saturdays.

I will also talk to our art teachers and see if we can use our art rooms, if not we could use our Auditorium foyer at school (that can save the transport part, which may encourage more participants). And i will try to get an idea of how many participants as soon as i can!!

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner!

Hi Karen,
I am extremely flat out and cant give you a definite answer without a little more info. So your looking at 2 full days prior to the 23rd of May to do stencil artworks on canvas? How many participants, where at...do you have a suitable venue?

Im booked almost everyday but some days are morning meetings so I could do afternoon workshops. Im off to Blackall from this Friday till 3rd May so I will try to work my schedule out and quote you before then,

Christian.

Blog address for project

Hi all,


as I mentioned to you (at my service a few weeks ago) I am also using this experience as part of a uni assignment. I have attached the blog address below - please go on and add comments. I have done up to day one when we spent the day together. I will be adding more soon. I am going to add the video from the youth day out - next week as I am having technical difficulties with the new camera and it wanting to work and download at present. Have lined up IT to have a go at it next week- so hopefully it will be on there then.

More ideas follow up

Hi Guys,
re our other ideas I have spoken to another manager who has a staff member who is trained in the babysitting program - so that is going to be a bit easier than I thought. So we need to make a time to talk and firm up the plans of the when where and how.

Once together I would also like to further explore our other ideas- especially the lunches- cause I think that would be a great one. Let me know when is good.

Just up date my blog this week and then send you the address and get that happening

Art show- to raise funds

Hi Christian,


I am wondering if you have an time over the next few weeks to run a couple of work shops with some young people from an Anglican College? We want to get some pieces together for their art auction on the 23rd May. I know it is short notice but a great opportunity I think for us both if we can pull it off. Send the costing to me.

Bron if you can let me know where you are up to with the boys group and if they are interested that would be great.

Finally started the process

Hi All,
I have done heaps but have not stopped and taken the time to actually write about it. so here goes as a catch up on what I am doing On Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th April - I had three students and one school based Chaplain. It was a busy two days:
 We started with the fun stuff and they learnt how to use the spray on tattoo machine- and got to tattoo each other.


 We then discussed what our service did, then watched a couple of videos - one by young people and one by a community group that our service is involved with Alternatives to Violence Project (who run workshops), the workshop we watched was with a group of prisoners who participated in the workshops.

 We discussed and looked at choices that people make and what supports that they have.

 We further discussed what supports young people in their school have- and the issues that may stop them from seeking out these supports.

 One of the main ones was the uncertainty re what the roles and who and when these people need to discuss things that they discuss with.

And that was day one.
