Casa Latina
January 13th, 2015
8:10 AM – 12:00 PM
Ivette
and I met with Emily Gaggia at Casa Latina to discuss the progress of the
workshops. Emily needs all of the information about the volunteer hours,
reflections, and materials by the end of January. We also discussed what type
of technology to purchase for the children. One of the ideas was buying stop
motion cameras and software. However, we thought that it might be too complex
and perhaps frustrating for the amount of time we have during each workshops. I
think that we should buy digital cameras, printers, and the proposed tablets because
we know how to use those. We have a better chance of teaching them to use it. We
also discussed gift cards for the staff members who also volunteered. We were
thinking of $30 gift cards to Target or Fred Meyer’s. We were able to talk with
Araceli over the phone as well as when she arrived later.
After
our meeting with Emily and Araceli, Ivette and I went downstairs to talk with
Sierra about advertising the workshops on the Casa Latina’s Facebook. While
there, Kasey also walked in. We talked with them for a while about the grant as
well as the aims of the workshops. We also talked about our website and adding
a link to Facebook. They wanted us to change our wording about Casa Latina on
our website. It was great to meet with both of them and get their feedback. It
was also really good to meet with them face to face because now we have that
connection that we can draw upon.
