Hello All!
Been Keeping Busy: With May coming up The pressure is building on getting the students to finish a piece to have in the Youth art Show starting in May. I have also been working on getting RPSC more organized about outreach and keeping track of who we know where. It has been a real challenge being called the outreach person when I barely have time to work in the store but I have devised a new system of operation! I was talking with Chelsea, our newest member(i help her with class programming and who has really been supportive with what and how I help RPS) and we figured that I should take one whole day and instead of spending half of the day at the store and half trying to tell all of the east bay about RPSC evnets that I would take one whole day and distribute calenders, class and event flyers and the word about rpsc.
So This past thursday I headed out into the sunny day and met a few great people! I set up my walking and ac transit route(not owning my own car cuts mega time into traveling throughout the day but-c'est la vie!) and many open call postcards and went to all the key schools and centers to get to know key contact people at these local organizations.
On my travels I did gets unburned but Realized that a lot of people have had not so friendly interactions with RPSC and its ppl! So It was nice to let people know that RPS is active and has a new friendlier (and accesable) outreach(ish) person to collaborate with. LEARNED: to take on what I realistically think I can, to modify and communicate with the current members on any issues, to reach out to ppl outside of the -becoming less narrow- circle of resources of RPSC.
