Politics everywhere!

For the last couple of months, I have been working with a group of girls from my PR Campaigns class to create an event for a local small business called Digital Bridges. Sadly, we have hit many road blocks along the way. It all began with us creating an event called digital inclusion for people within the community who do not have much access to computers much less the internet. We were excited to get started since we were told that we would be able to create a press packet for the community explaining the cheap internet connections they would be giving away to 250 people. After creating a brochure and a couple of other documents, we were told that we were going to go in a different direction. I was actually pretty pleased with this news since the chamber had not given us the internet accounts therefore we were not accomplishing much.

The next thing we began planning was the Ribbon cutting ceremony which would have been held on April 22. We already had an invitation, food, decorations, entertainment, and giveaways planned. After much deliberating with the college, the president, the chamber, and everyone else involved, we hit a wall when the college told us that we would not be able to plan the event. So... here we were again. Stuck with nothing.

We met again today and finally nailed down what we are going to do. It will be an event that we are in charge of! One that will not involve different parties and politics. Digital Bridges will host an open house on Wednesday, April 21 from 1 - 4 p.m. We will provide refreshments and fun! The first 100 people through the door will receive a free jump drive with Digital Bridges' logo! We look forward to planning this event. It should be a huge success!
