We have recently begun to really put into action our date auction in coordination with the Kappas. The idea is to have Whitman students and professors up for bid for a “date.” Tuesday, Feb 19th we are having the auction and Feb 20th on Wednesday night we are having the dessert banquet. It is fantastic working with the Kappas. Maryn, the fundraising chair, is extremely well organized and very bright. So often it is hard to really team up with other campus groups and have it work out, but the Kappas are doing a phenomenal job working with us. I am extremely appreciative for this.

Designing the media for this even has been my job. It was a huge undertaking that I got done in just a few days and I am extremely happy with how everything turned out. We have big posters, table toppers, flyers, mailbox stuffers and brochures. In addition to this media, the Kappas are sending out e-mails on all their list servs, making a facebook.com page, and spreading the event via word of mouth. We are also trying to get a Pioneer (Whitman’s campus newspaper) article written.

I have recently stepped back from the rest of the fundraising endeavors quite substantially and I am excited to see who steps up as a main leader to make this event happen well.
