DUE DECEMBER 15th:
Link to Website - we don't expect content yet. Try to start your site and add a picture, create pages, and try to add your application video. Check out the tech training tutorials and learn more from our webinar from last week.  Suggestion: Create a time for the team to experiment building a website for themselves to get ideas and build the team knowledge.
Project Planners - You can customize the project planner to meet your needs (decide if you want a planner PER event or for the entire year). This is your roadmap to help guide your planning, so customize as you see fit. We know dates and plans will change but this will get your started. 
Proposed budget - How do you think you will use your money this year? Make a plan. You are welcome to also solicit in-kind donations, other grants, and possibly charge for an event. Details discussed in last week's webinar.

All of this and more can be found on the Curriculum page of our website.
