Leader: Arun Somasundaram
Project name: School Grounds Clean-up
Group Contact Information:
Arun: arunmadav2013@yahoo.com
Nic Bader: baderade@comcast.net
Cole Sullivan: cole99085@yahoo.com
Date: October 22
Objective: The objective of this project is to pick up garbage laying around the school grounds and make the school appear cleaner.
Class Goals: This is a leadership experience for Arun, since he organized it and got all the materials for it, and told us what to do.
My Role: I'm going to be helping pick up garbage. We will all have gloves and garbage bags and we'll go around the school grounds picking up garbage.
We will all be doing work together at the same time, so it'll be easy to make sure we get work done.
There aren't very large obstacles to our success. The biggest is probably the fact that some garbage will be a bit gross. To overcome this obstacle, we will have gloves.

Proposal for Lead Project #2
Executive Summary:
My second project is to advertise the Ballroom Dance class on mondays after school. The number of students taking the class has decreased since it started, and I think it's because less people know about it. I want to make sure everyone who would like to join knows about it, and it would be good to convince other people to do it too. I will be using flyers or posters, and the NotAM, and when I get a group together we can come up with some other ways to advertise it.
Need:
When it started, the Ballroom Dance after school class had around 50 students. Now there are less than 20. Ballroom dance is a very fun activity and is a good opportunity to meet people. It's also a good skill to learn. I think the reason for the small number of students at Ballroom is that not enough people know about it.
Objective:
The goal of this project is to get more people to join Ballroom. The more people, the better. I can't force anyone to do it, so success will be measured by the amount of people I inform of Ballroom, rather than how many more people join.
Short-term objectives: make flyers, put a message in the NotAM, talk to individual people about Ballroom
Long-term objectives: get more people to join Ballroom
Method:
I'm going to achieve the goal of this project by informing people about Ballroom, using flyers/posters, and the NotAM. There are other ways, and my group members might be able to suggest some.
Short term objectives: post flyers/posters, get permission to put it in the NotAM, think of other ideas
Long term objectives: bring more members into the class
Evaluation:
I will know the project was effective if more people join Ballroom.
Qualifications:
My previous project was similar to this one. I created flyers. I am the only candidate for this project because no one else thought of it.
Timetable:
I need to get this done by the end of the semester, so I should get a group together by the end of this week, we'll discuss ideas, and then the next week we'll get to work.
Budget:
We probably won't have to pay any money, unless we come up with more ideas to advertise.
Conclusion:
This project is worthwhile because some people would like to join the Ballroom Dance class if they knew about it, but it doesn't seem like a lot of people know about it. This class is a great opportunity to get free lessons.

Project #1 Reflection
AJ Sullivan
Clean Restrooms
Group Members: Arun Somasundaram, Nic Bader
This project is mostly finished. All that remains is to print and laminate the flyers, which is Arun is doing, and then post them in the restrooms. When this is finished depends on when Arun gets them laminated. I have talked to him about it and he said he will get them laminated soon, but I don't know when. I did not know it would take so long. Another problem that occurred was that I lost my USB drive, which had all the flyers on it. I had to redo all of them.
Creating flyers, before I lost my USB, went better than expected. I'm satisfied with what we thought of and what I made.
To prevent the problem that happened on this project, I'm going to save the documents on the compters, and email them to myself.
My next project might use flyers again. I'm going to promote the Monday Ballroom dance classes to get more people to join.

Milestone 2 Reflection: making flyers
Nic and I have made flyers and we're sending them to Arun to print and laminate them. He'll then bring them to school where we'll post them in the restrooms.
Milestone 1 reflection: group
I got a group of three together. My team mates are Arun Somasundaram and Nic Bader. We met and discussed ideas. We're going to make flyers, print them, and laminate them and post them in the restrooms. We met this milestone successfully, but it took a while to do so. We're still good to go though.

Project Updates
1. Lead Project
I have talked to 4 people: Arun, Nick, Jared and Francis, about my project, and I now need to meet with them so we can talk about what we'll do. Getting a group together was my first milestone, so I have nearly met that. Hopefully our conversation will go smoothly and without too much side-tracking.
2. Projects I'm Helping With
I am working with Arun, Elizabeth and Jenny on their projects. So far I have only worked with Arun, picking up garbage in the front courtyard, student parking lot and field. I chose to do these projects because these people are my friends. I would help them with any project they were doing. Although, picking up garbage wasn't much of a learning experience. It did give me a chance to ask for help on my project though.
