There is Power in the Movement

     This last week was a lot of progress.
     We hit many walls, but really kept powering through. **WARNING. The following is a really long narrative.** First, there was an issue of students fundraising for their own cause without being a club. So, I spoke with Mrs. Marshburn before school, and she said that the issue was not that we weren't a club, but we did not have an account in the Activities Office. We need the account because we can't leave the campus with the money. Anyway, we were going to need an email from Mr. Orre to validate our cause, and an account, from either one of the clubs Mr. Orre supervises or a friend's club. We went to Mr. Orre to ask him to write the email, and he ended up talking to Mrs. Marshburn. We also talked to him about using their funds, and he said to talk to the club president, Alexandria Tso. We looked up her schedule in the Journalism binder, but did not think to look up her face. This brings me of things we still need to do with these new breakthroughs. We need to contact either Alexandria or a connection as the leader of the club. We need to go into the Activities Office to plan a date for the fundraiser. We need to scout the place we want to put the advertisement, which we started to do today.
       I think we have learned to be persistent. We thought planning a fundraiser would not take this long, especially because we planned the logistics weeks ago. We have been communicating with multiple authorities to get the information we need, but there was no other way to do. We have learned that sometimes things will only follow through with lots of work and effort, not just with skill.
