What: The Red Cross partnered with us for our service learning
project to help give aide to Tennessee due to the flooding they
have been experiencing. We decided to sell tickets in advance and
take walk-ins for our fundraiser. It was held on June 8, 2010 at
Atonement Lutheran Church between 5pm and 7pm
Slide 4
The Dinner: For our dinner, we decided to make spaghetti,
garlic toast, a small salad, and some desserts (Donated by Janell
Holt and Deb Krogstad). We set it up buffet style and allowed
everyone to servethemselves. On the tables, were three different
table tents, with pictures and information from the flooding in
Tennessee.

Goal: 1. Sell at least 60 tickets in advance 2. Raise $500 for
Tennessee
Slide 6
Success! We sold. 65 tickets We made $503 (After the grocery
bill)

Struggles 1. Our first struggle was after we decided on our
project. We originally wanted to do chili for Chile to raise money
because of the resent earthquake they have been having. BUT, we
soon found out that Chile really didnt need the aide, nor was it
really weather for chili. 2. Our second struggle came after finding
out that our original place to hold our event fell through, so then
we needed to figure out a different location. 3. We then had our
event planned, posted signs, facebook events, on various other
websites, advertising our event, with a phone number to call for
advanced tickets, but no one called, which worried us. But in the
end, our event turned out fairly well.

Glue: Our difference in service learning colors held us
together and kept us going, even when we figured out that our
original plan was not going to be a success.
