The Connect with Southern Indiana session on May 16, 2014
was held in Dubois County. The day began at the Old Town Hall in Huntingburg
with breakfast catered by Cool Beans Java Café.
The teams then started to do
their project pitches, which now included everything from last time and the
financial figures. Here are the financials for my group's project B.E.A.R.
Instead of waiting for feedback from the Coaches in video
form, each group received feedback immediately after their pitch from the
Coaches and the rest of the Connect participants. This feedback was really
helpful from the other groups because this was now the third time they had
heard our pitches and probably had been wanting to say certain things since the
first one.
Lunch was catered by Fat N Sassy restaurant. After lunch we
had a presentation by Jamie Levy
about what it takes to be on a Board and the
difficulties faced being nonprofit and public administration. Jamie Levy is a
well-known speaker and has published several important works. More information
can be found about Jamie and his company at http://jdlevyassociates.com/.
We then traveled to League Stadium, a baseball stadium
located in Huntingburg, Indiana. Home of the Dubois County Bombers, but better
known for being the set for the 1991 filming of A League of Their Own. It was also used as the set for the movie Soul of the Game which is an HBO
original movie. The tour of the stadium was very informative and gave some really cool insights about how the the 1991 filming changed things for Huntingburg.
