Focus Group: Day Two

Look! We multiplied! (There was actually another girl there as well who was absent from the picture.)

There was much more brainstorming and refining of ideas and concepts, and, of course, many moments of total and utter distraction. The "Focus" part of them name might be slightly misleading. But, hey, whatever works.

We stuck eight people around a table in the community center meant for four, pulled out the markers, and put more ideas down on the "thinking paper." Some of them were real ideas - doing yard work or car washing as a fundraiser, putting together a walk to raise awareness about clean water access, etc - and some of them were slightly less realistic - "smashing things," "commercial: about BABIES."

But, we do appear to have a least one administratively minded person in the group, because she took our every-which-way mass of colors, words, and pictures and consolidated it down into a bullet pointed list. The rest of us...well...we just circle and underline the things we think are important. The more color surrounds something, the more we think it should happen.

And, happen it will, at least some of it. This Thursday, we'll meet again to start the move from planning to action.
