1. Leaders of the 21st Century organizer, Kevin Otos, came to brainstorm and give us some tips:
-What do we want the audience to walk away with?
-How many people do we want to present?
-Celebration of our accomplishments, our opportunity to share with the audience
-Mission of the Periclean program
-Potential approach: our journey through Periclean
-Went over logistics: how to hold microphone, how to avoid pauses, “um”s, etc.

2. Evan Small also came to class, representing Elon Volunteers! (EV) in hopes of collaborating with Periclean for sustaining our program with the women.
-He sees it being a collaboration among Periclean, EV, and El Centro de Espanol (great way for students to get hours at El Centro!)
-We emphasized that consistency of Elon students is important for trust, continuity, and growth. Plus it helps break down the wall between Burlington and the “Elon Bubble”
-He seems hopeful and will be getting back to us soon

3. We are having our LAST class at Alex Lake’s house next week. We’ll have a cookout and hang out and also discuss our class resume as well as how we want to use our time on stage for Leaders.

4. Our class had planned to have a tailgate Wednesday, May 8 and then go to the baseball game with the session women. However, the game was cancelled, leading us to quickly brainstorm an alternative in class last night. It was a great example of the constant changes and curve balls that come along with the program! After some stressful scrambling, we secured El Centro for the evening, where we will have a make-your-own-pizza night and games. There are quite a few 2016’s joining us so they can meet the women. We’re looking forward to it!
