I'm still waiting for the DCT to get back to me and my mentor about my fundraising event idea, so I'm attempting to get as much done as possible in the interim. I emailed my judges about my final presentation date (as of now) and the information they would need to better understand their role in my thesis project. I'm going to probably contact my mentor tonight to ask about the possibility of me giving my presentation at the event itself. I'm not sure exactly how - or even if - that would work, just because of time/space constraints and the audience who will be attending, but if I can, I think I probably will. That way, I can do it all on one day and just get it done without having to miss class to do it.
I also went back to search for that one Pratham flier I found, because I'm going to use that one as the template for our fliers for this event. I created a rough draft of it in Word, and I'm going to keep that until we get more details and actually buy the tickets themselves.
Also, I just remembered: during our conversation two days ago, my mentor and I also discussed the possibility of having some small businesses come and sponsor this event, possibly by supplying snacks for the post-play reception, and in turn we could help advertise their business on fliers that we hand out to help spread the word about the event and about Pratham. My mentor suggested two people involved with Pratham (both of whom I personally met during some Readathon get-togethers over the summer) who could probably sponsor the event; one runs a law firm and the other owns his own medical clinic (private practice, I believe). Both of these are great possibilities, and my mentor told me that we could easily get one of them to sponsor our event. It's really great having this entire Pratham network, because it's making a lot of things in my thesis much easier! I'm really very thankful for it.
