Back to the logo. Jason has done a great job coming up with a logo and people have liked what they’ve seen. What color should the T-shirts be? Julie suggested a burgundy for the students and black for the adults. We’re a little concerned with the dark colors, especially during the summer. We want a bright color because they make for exciting and inviting photos. On the other hand, the white of the logo needs to have a dark color for contrast. Jason will come up with a plethora of  possibilities – white logo on many different color shirts – and send them out on the Wave. He’ll also look at how to adjust the logo for print/advertising purposes.

We need to set up a time to make phone calls to invite teachers and small group leaders to make an early commitment. We need to have a list of classes and teachers in order to put out a registration sheet and the registration sheet should be available by May 1st. Hope and Bonnie will brainstorm a list of people to make those phone calls and see when they are available to make calls. We’re also thinking that we could have Julie do a pre-worship announcement and appeal for volunteers. Perhaps a booth in The Gathering Place would be a good way to make it real to people that the plans are starting to come together already.

Cal contacted Linda Ippel (a potter from Grand Rapids) and Rachelle Carlson (a photographer) about either teaching a class or having some other involvement.

Julie has purchased some videos to prompt Wonder in the campers. Jason suggested that perhaps we could have a video night in which we invite leaders to view some of the videos that we have picked to pique their curiousity and creativity. We could couple this with a teacher/small group leader training.

Jason found a database template online that we think will work for BAC (with some modifications).

After all this, we’re going with a burgundy shirt for the campers and black for the leaders.
