Romi: Meeting 2

Candidate: Romi S

---

Related Goal: Romi: Help connect all areas of the pool staff through team bonding.

In order to create a social even connect what you do to something external (ex: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Superbowl, etc…). Identify what you want to connect it to –> something high schoolers would want to go to.

This would be an unpaid event for everyone except for the facilitators.

Halloween time could be a good time because we could make it indoors or outdoors. Thanksgiving could also be good because the college kids would be home.

Example of activities for Halloween:

• Pumpkin carving
• Fire pit (Jewett Pavilion)
• Candy exchange

Example of activities for Thanksgiving:

• Have everyone bring a treat they like (potluck)
• Play guard games/pool trivia

Need to create an invitation: GroupMe, Email list. Need a picture, graphic, and description for the invitation. Identify: location, day, time, conflicts, resources, etc….

Prep notes for next meeting:

Theme for the first event –> Halloween hangout
“Spooktacular Splash”

Possible locations:
