The week before spring break Mark and I visited the Cary Home for Children to meet with someone, ask a few questions, and exchange paperwork. The staff we met seemed really happy that we were putting on this event for the kids since it has been a few years since the Cary Club has done so. We left sign-up sheets there and received confidentiality waivers to be signed by activity participants. One small change we made to our project is how we are going to feed the kids. Instead of taking them to the dining court we will just order pizza and drinks. We did this because it will be significantly cheaper to do so. Also, it looks like at least one Cary Home staff person will be present at our event. Having a staff member there should not interfere with our group being in charge of the event.
This week in class we worked on group problem solving. To mimic a real-life situation, we were all assigned into new groups. In the workplace this would represent people from different departments coming together to solve a problem. While it can be uncomfortable stepping out of my comfort zone, this will be a good experience and good practice for dealing with these types of circumstances in the future.
