Week 7

The After Party

The past few weeks have been very eventful for the Gus Macker family, but we finally had a breather this last class period and just in time for Spring Break!

This was the first class period after the Launch Party and we took a long time discussing what went well, what went wrong, and what we can do better next time. This is an important part of the event planning process and will allow this class to keep contributing to Central Michigan University in the future. We learned the results of our fundraising as well, and as a class we raised a total of $2,912.00. This ended up being $1,000 more than last year, beating the previous record for most money raised! Central Michigan Life also wrote a news article about the Launch Party which you can read by following this link! http://www.cm-life.com/article/2017/02/gus-macker-kick-off-at-okellys

I must include another shout out to two Teaching Assistants, Shelby and Madison, who got to speak about our class at the Gus Macker Conference. At this conference, 18 cities who host Gus Macker Basketball Festivals come together and discuss the pros and cons of the event. Our team members had the honor of sharing what we do as a class and blowing the other cities away with how much we accomplish as 30 college students! They received a standing ovation and our class couldn't be prouder!

That's all I have to report for this class period, but we do have more upcoming events and information for you! Registration for the tournament April 29-30 is now open, if you have an interested team be sure to check out https://macker.com/ and click on Mt. Pleasant to register for our tournament. We will also be coming to Grand Rapids, MI for a one day Gus Macker Event April 1st! 

As always you can follow us on social media to gain more information hot off the Finch Factory conveyor belt!
