Newsletter #8

November 21, 2024

This is the 8th edition. We are 277 strong.

It was great to see all of you who made it out today! I’m still doing the calculations, but the only thing I’m trying to figure out is how 200 business cards got us only 2 sign-ups to our newsletter! 🤔 At this rate, our member acquisition cost per member is sitting around $13. I may have to launch the GoFundMe sooner rather than later!

All kidding aside, I gave a few stacks out for future some events. Thank you for helping spread the word.

With that being said, I’ll jump right in:

Giving Thanks

I need to start by thanking those who volunteered today. Mattie, Marissa, Helena, and Monica all dedicated extended amounts of time to be out there! I’m grateful to have their support and presence today! Tiffany and Beth were amazing co-hosts with me. Also, special thanks to Beth and Jenny for all their work on content, design, and social media. Lastly, thanks to everyone who stopped by, and everyone who was there in spirit. Special shout out to at least 4 that were from HSC that either visited or volunteered in-person. I’m grateful for each of you.

For those who couldn’t make it, our petition survey is here.

Financial Planning for Sustainable Excellence (link)

USC released a detailed statement related to the current financial situation (link above).

Please read the communication a few times, then put any thoughts, comments, rebuttals in our Google Doc

I’m considering a response video and I will take your comments into consideration.

Social Media Momentum

Based on the communication today, this is going to be a protracted fight. I’m impressed with the engagement on Instagram, but we need more likes and subscribes to make this a bigger deal.

Please use the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/my15atUSC to connect to our social media accounts.

Storytelling

We need more input on the storytelling survey. We only have 10 responses.

I’ll stop there. It’s been a long but rewarding day. Thanks again for being there with us, in person or in spirit.

Good night, and Fight On!
