End of January

Hello World.

I have created a list of "jobs" we need completed for the St. Vincent's Meals On Wheels project and sent them out to everyone in a google document. St. Vincent's Meals On Wheels needs us to rebuild a website that a previous Ai intern built for them called feedasenior.com. They have expressed that they have some specific content they would like to have on the site and an interest in an Ai made film about volunteering and to motivate people to volunteer. They would like the film to be 1-2 minutes long and completely shot and edited by Ai students (us). They would also like us to build a short animation of a "virtual bike-a-thon" where people can donate a certain amount and have the animated cyclist ride in a virtual marathon.

Club Web logo designer:

We have one submission so far and it would be great if we have a few to chose from and vote on. I am placing a cut off on the contest of February 3rd.

Frank Rios Memorial:

Terry Bailey has been able to set up a dedication ceremony for the late Frank Rios. The ceremony will consist of a large Fikas plant being commemorated to his memory in the student lounge on the 3rd floor. It will be February 17th and more details will follow as the time grows nearer as to what time it will be held.

Club Web news

Hello World!

First off I would like to thank everyone for coming and joining us at our first official meeting as Club Web on Wednesday. Joe and I spoke with Patricia Barrett on Thursday, and she was ecstatic, to say the least, that there were so many new faces (to her) that were interested in helping out St. Vincent's Meals on Wheels by building a website for them.

So that brings us into the nitty gritty of it all. We have some jobs that are going to need to be done and that need people to fill them. First off is a video production crew to make a promotional video about the Feed a Senior program SVMOW represents and about volunteering in the program.

We also need someone or a few of you to work on some flash animation and an interactive flash "game" which is basically a virtual bike-a-thon. I will have more details about that at the next meeting on Wednesday, January 27.

And the other jobs are to design, code and implement the web design for the new website. If anyone has the ability to create a database and link it to make it fully functional, this would be great! Our hopes are to make a log in area that allows users to personalize a calendar within the website and/or schedule volunteer hours with the Feed a Senior program.

This project sounds like it will be a lot of fun and a great experience for all of us! Please join us at the next meeting for more details and to volunteer for the jobs we have for the team.

When: January 27, 5pm
Where: Room 301
Who: everyone and anyone who has signed up for Club Web membership.

It's a new year and a new quarter of classes. Now that we are all settled in, the fun begins. Wednesday January 20th is our Grand Opening for Club Web, and for our Grand Opening, we are having Pizza! We also will be having a guest speaker to talk to us more about our upcoming project for St. Vincent's Meals on Wheels. Patricia Barrett will be joining us at our meeting and I hope you will too.

Please check back soon for more details about location. As of right now we are meeting at 5pm on the 3rd floor of the AiCAH campus.

Hope to see you there.
