Dominican Day was a success!!!
We would like to thank members of the Methods class who helped out at the Spanish language table. We would also like to thank Dr. Ricardo for doing a fantastic job teaching merengue. And thank you to Chartwells for providing the food for the evening.
From 3-4 in the afternoon elementary school students attended Dominican Day. The stations were more simplified compared to the evening part of Dominican Day. The kids made masks and learned some simple Spanish words. They also made cards in Spanish to be taken to the childrens centers in the Dominican Republic.
The second part of the evening ran from 7pm-9pm. Over 151 people attended the event. Guests spent time checking out each of the stations which ranged from Spanish language learning to information about the Dominican Republic and Reach Out. The mask-making station was a big hit with the students. The Dominican-inspired food was very popular as well.
Dr. Ricardo of the Spanish department kicked off the 8pm hour with merengue lessons. He broke down the steps to make it easier for everyone to learn. The upbeat music added to the dancing and soon the floor was filled with students.
Overall, Reach Out was extremely pleased with Dominican Day! It was a great night!
Photos of the night will be posted on our website www.ship.edu/honors/reachout so be sure to check them out!

Dominican Day is almost here!!
It's almost here, Dominican Day (November 17th 7-9 PM CUB MPR)s is just around the corner! We have been making many preparations for the day and we as a class are very excited for the turnout we are expecting.
In terms of the PR team we have successfully created flyers and passed them out to the rest of the class and to other members of the campus community. We have also hung up both posters we made (one in the library on campus and one on the Great Wall in the CUB). Lastly, we are printing out a lot of brochures for Dominican Day, both to pass out at the event and also to have at our Hospitality table, which will be the first and last table that people will walk by as they enter and exit.
In the earlier part of the day (3-4PM) we have been able to invite the kids from Grace B. Luhrs Elementary school which we have partnered with to come and enjoy some of the festivities. They will be coming and making cards for the children in the Dominican Republic and they will be able to make crafts in the form of masks that are like the masks that Dominican people wear during Carnival. We are hoping this will be another way that we can connect the children here in Shippensburg Grace B. Luhrs school to the children in the Dominican Republic.
The evening will be our actual Dominican Day.
Here are some of the activities that we are going to be offering:
1) A Full Menu inspired by Dominican foods
2) Crafts in the forms of masks inspired by Dominican Carnival
3) Dominican inspired dancing taught by our own Dr. Ricardo of the Spanish Department
4) Spanish Lessons for beginners
5) A Photo Souvenir for everyone to remember the great time they had
6) Raffles of some great prizes
We will be offering this and more! Already, we are so excited for this event and we are anticipating much participation!
Make sure you come out and support SU Reach Out: Enhancing Education in the Dominican Republic!

A Great Day for Ship Sports and Project Fundraising
Our ribbon and pom-pom fundraising events at the home football and volleyball games on Saturday, November 7th were a huge success! Between both games, we made approximately $200, which is great! Thank you to all that donated to our cause!
It would be unfair not to also thank the Ship football and volleyball teams for putting on such a fantastic show for the fans this weekend. Congratulations to the football team who beat California University of PA to clinch the 2009 PSAC championship, and to the volleyball team who swept West Chester to receive the number 3 seed in the upcoming PSAC tournament! Way to go Raiders!

Advertisment is Key!
Advertising can make or break your project and the way that PR is moving, we are definitely in the direction of making our project. This week we worked on our many forms of advertising for our project. We have many forms of adverstiment that we plan to distribute.
Our most upcoming event for our project is Dominican Day on November 17th 7- 9PM in the CUB MPR. At Dominican day we are planning to allow people to come and experience Dominican culture. At Dominican Day we are planning to have dance lessons, food and mask-making all centered around Dominican culture. We have made a flyer and have started to hang them up around campus and other areas. Our flyer is one way that we are getting the word out about this event.
At Dominican Day we are planning to wear our T-shirts that we are getting made. We are getting shirts done by ABC Lettering and they will advertise our project and give the public a way to contact us and learn more about our project. On the front will be our logo and on the back will be a way to contact us and learn more about our project. We feel that this is a way to advertise our project in a different manner. Along with our Dominican Day event, we have also partnered with the Grace B. Luhrs Elementary School in Shippensburg. They are holding a school supplies drive. These supplies will be taken down to the Domincian Republic for the children there in the child development centers. At the school, we are giving out stickers to the children who participate in the drive and also to the children who come to Domincan Day. The stickers have our logo on them and are also a creative way to get out the word out about our project.
Lastly, we have taken advantage of the oppurtunities that our campus allows us for advertisement. We are making a poster to hang on the Great Wall in the CUB and we are making a poster to hang in the library. Both of these posters will advertise Dominican Day. These are both places that students frequent a lot of the time and it would be beneficial for us to advertise there. Posters have been started for both of these locations and will be hung for at least a week before Dominican Day.
This week has been all about advertising!
If you would like to request any forms of our advertisement please send us an email at: sureachout@gmail.com
Also, make sure you come and check out our table at the November 7th Football and Volleyball games. Come pick up some pompoms and donate to support our project. And don't forget to come to Dominican Day, November 17th 7-9PM CUB MPR!!
