5 - nailing it down

October 3, 2007

After much debate and discussion, seven things were decided on for our permaculture design project.

under plants and structures we aim to have:
-a strawberry patch beside the building
-an outdoor hammock
-grafitti boards for the sides of the building
-shoe racks for inside the door
-a bench for under the overhang

and under events we aim to have:
-a games event for the younger group
-a sleepover in the CC for the older group

It was decided that while the outdoor shed was definitely needed, it wasn't something that we felt skilled enough to build. It would be pointless to build a sub-par shed, only to have it fall apart or be replaced in a short time. We decided that smaller projects felt more manageable, and the completion of past projects should take priority, especially since a desire to see them through had been expressed.

It was also expressed by many group memebrs that some kind of event between FCS and the YP would be beneficial and most certainly fall under "People Care". There are not alot of people our age in the community, and we feel that spending time with the YP members would be a positive (and fun) way to begin to bridge the gap between the YP and the older community members.

Getting down to business...

Focalizers were appointed for various areas of the project, so that when our construction day came around (October 12) we would have some planning and instruction ready.

Project Focalizers:
Sarah - strawberry patch
Josh - grafitti boards and shoe rack
Kyle - hammock
Steph - bench
Ashley and Zack - older group event
Oren - younger group event

Administrative Focalizers:
Emma - documentation/secretary
Alexa - budget/treasurer

It's off to the races!
