I have been looking for a place to donate some small food for the event, and I think that I will be using Zoey`s Kitchen in Wayne (which isn't that far from Painting With A Twist which is also in Wayne) and I just have to contact them via e-mail, according to their website. I plan on getting this from them because they are somewhat inexpensive regularly and if I can get them to donate a few platters of something like small sandwiches or something like that. It would work out perfectly because since its not meant to be a dinner, but a small snack for people to eat. The food all comes with admission as a part of the event. 

I am also planning to talk to Mrs. Miller about PAWS for People, an organization that she is involved in and to see if she can also be my mentor for this project. This would also be useful because she can help me to get the word out about my event at school and to the other students in the group who might also be interested. 

For the advertising I was thinking about using paper flyers for handing out at places like my church, and my parents`s offices and also possibly in school (I`m going to ask the administration if I can hang some flyers up around the school and possibly also have an announcement of sometime to play i the morning announcements). I was also going to use the websites or PALS and my neighborhood website so people can be notified of the event. I am still aiming for a Monday in March 2018. I will be starting advertising in mid January, giving about 2 months notice to people so they can plan ahead for the event if they choose to attend.

So far I have finished my pitch, and I don`t know if it has been approved yet by my teacher, but prior to the pitch, my fundraiser was approved by P.A.L.S. I though that I could have done but better on my pitch though.
I have my deliverables ready for this month, and I will be doing my best to meet them before December.

My deliverables for this month are:
- Finish my general planning for the event in a general perspective.
- Think about how my advertising can be planned out and also to think about how I will be get the word out to other people in the community.
- Start deciding on a Monday night in March or April for the event. (Monday was the only available day for the venue that will be holding the event to hold the fundraiser)
- Find a place near or in Wayne to give a donation of some food for the event.

I have also decided that there will not be a raffle - it was originally stated in my chart of deliverables in my proposal - because it would be too much hassle to get it organized, and I want the event to be simple, but effective for what I want to accomplish with it.

For the part involving financials and how much money will be gained by the funds from admission, the venue will need to take the money that is made from the event and only take the amount for their expenses and give the rest back and that will go towards P.A.L.S.

I will be working with what I have and know for now, and after that I will get into the detailed planning for my event, and then it will happen in March or April, and I hope it works out okay.
