Week Two: Calling In All Sponsors

Week two is almost over. It has been a slow start, but I recently started contacting some potential sponsors for the Baja Team. I've been working closely with Jason, one of the team leaders, so that I can further learn more about what the team still needs in order to finish building their car.

I just finished talking to Curbell Plastics, and it seems that they will be willing to supply the team with some of the necessary supplies that they were needing. Right now I am working on contacting some dealerships to see if they would be willing to sponsor the team as well. I have not been able to do much progress on the online fundraising because I want to sit down with the team and get their input on what exactly they want to include in order to better promote their team.

It is interesting working with college students. Since they all have different schedules, it is very hard to find time to meet up with them and actually organize all the work that is being done. Hopefully within the following weeks I'll be able to get to know them more and maybe find some organization with everyone so that everything can be more productive. The deadlines for the competition are coming up, so we all need to start working together if we want to be ready by then.
