Education story. She wrote that up. She is working on a problem with the postal system. The Bridge will be proofed tomorrow and go to print on Thursday. MPR is not coming Friday, maybe 2/24.

Team Meeting 1/31

Christiana is on vacation and Kat couldn't make the meeting today. Here is Kat's update:

On Tuesday Kat worked on her Anna House Foundation story and set up interviews for the Something for Annika news release. On Thursday she had interviews for the new release Something for Annika and wrote the news release.

Jess dropped a class and is now able to attend the team meetings. She is doing research for Cheryl. Jess will be helping Betty put together some portfolios this afternoon. Jess heard back from Arden about the Saturday Evening girls and will be sending Jess more info. We agreed that doing a reprint of the Jim Paymar story made more sense than having Jess do another one. She will contact LJ about someone else to interview - possibly the young man in the LSBE 30-second video.

Zach said Michael Montano had the flu last Friday and so they have to reschedule their interview. He has the Tom Olsen interview on Wed. He is waiting to hear back from someone in the actuary club. He just emailed them on Friday.

Cheryl said that the Bridge is very close. She will be editing the Chancellor's column. She is redesigning the post card for the Bridge mailing. She asked for ideas.

Kathleen is writing The Miracle Worker homepage article - just waiting for some info from Sherise. The homepage changes out tomorrow. She already confirmed with Cheryl what should go up. Kathleen needs to crop photos and write the 25 words. Kathleen edited the American Indian article for Cheryl. Kathleen is also working on the next issue of Currents.

Team Meeting for 1/23

Unfortunately Jess isn't available on Mondays at 1:15 pm so we discussed a possible Tuesday at 8 am meeting. Kathleen will email Jess about that possibility.
