Genius Hour

 This was our first booster club meet of this year. I am going to post the meeting minutes below just to give an idea of some of the things we talk about. This meeting was needed to get the ball rolling since the last meeting was in early November. "Meeting minutes" refers to a written record of what was discussed and decided during a meeting , including key details like the date, attendees, topics covered, decisions made, and action items assigned, essentially serving as an official document summarizing the meeting's key points.  Here is our minutes from our last meeting. I hope this gives you an idea of what types of things are discussed. Meeting held at Emma's  house FODA Meeting Jan 26 2025 Present: Brandon Emma                                          ...

                             Week 3's Genius Hour Project shown below, Friends of Delhi Athletics decided to host "Friday Night Lights" coming in the Fall. FODA will come together to fund this event that will take place at the local high school.  Various fundraisers will consist of a BBQ and selling krispy kreme donuts. Other ideas we're discussed, but were not chosen due to start up costs. FODA members have been spreading the word to encourage other parents to be part of the committee. Some issues arouse such as disagreements surrounding what fundraisers to use. Discussions were held with a list of pro's and con's of each idea to help guide the groups decision. Next week, the group will research and discuss "meeting minutes" to become a registered committee which will then allow us to sell lottery for fundraising.          ...

 Some of the things I did for my genius project were attempting to link videos this is not exactly my strong suit but I am learning as I am going there is a little bit of regret on not learning these skills sooner  I will be attending an F.O.D.A meeting on Sunday at 7:00 so hopefully I will have answers after on some of my questions. And with permission from the group I will hopefully attach a video of the meeting For this week this post we include what I have worked on. making connections with club members and request a meeting.,    Update meeting set for 7pm 😓                                              Bowl championship game This was our theme song https://youtu.be/96YeDWnUMw0?si=uuKg84mZ6K9-3x_D

  I thought my first blog post should be about, How can I make more of a significant impact as a leader within my local high school booster club organization? https://friendsofdelhiathletics.ca/ FODA = Friends of Delhi Athletics

Welcome to my Genius Hour Blog, here I will be posting weekly blogs about volunteering my time to "The Booster Club" also known as "Friends of Delhi Athletics" which is a local parent-run non-for-profit organization. Parents come together to raise funds for our local high school football team as well as other sports groups such as cheerleaders and badminton teams. We will dig into the beginning stages of how a successful fundraising group is developed and maintained over time. Thank for you reading my blog. Don
