Wrap up of Week 1: Neal Gillis

Hey folks,

This week was busier than expected. Not that Kristi and I were running off our feet, but our original plan was to simply plan out the rest of the summer and make some calls. Needless to say, this took about a day. We were set up in David's office all week, as he was gone to Ottawa (David: don't mind the empty liquor bottles all over the floor... I'll get them picked up). We're hoping to get our own office, and have a potential lead at the PEI Eco-Net, but we'll have to see. I called the local schools to see if they'd like to have two charming students come in and talk about co-operatives, but we got shot down on account of final exams. I met with Lloyd to get the payroll worked out. He was a great help. He made a spreadsheet to work from, and got the TOD program figured out. If I end up in jail over dirty books, it's all his fault.

We didn't have any meetings yet (aside from Lloyd), but we have four or five schedualed for next week already, all potential co-operatives. Very exciting. We're gonna co-op the hell outta this town.

Hope all is well with everyone else! Have fun in Ramea Dan and Steph!

Direct Deposit

Hello everyone,
I was talking to the Credit Union in Chralottetown, and they said that it would take a minimum of five days (maybe seven) to process the direct deposit. This means that next week's pay cheque may not be deposited until Monday the 13th (rather than Friday the 10th). I talked to Lloyd yesterday, and he hooked me up with a spread sheet and the TOD program. Everyone IS going to get paid, and no one in going to jail for tax evasion, but next weeks may come a few days late.
To speed things up, I need everyone to email me details for their account. You can mail a voided cheque to me (Box 6522, Cornwall PE, C0A 1H0) or David, or email me your Bank number, transit number, and account number. If you don't feel comfortable doing so online, give me a call at home (902.368.2139).
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know ASAP.
Later!

Business Cards

Hey dudes and dudettes,
I edited David's business cards template to have our logo in it. It's the same, only the left half of the card is just our logo, rather than the CWCF's. I will post the file here once I get home. If anyone doesn't have Microsoft Word, let me know and I can fill in the card details for you, and send it as a .pdf file.
Bye for now!


UPDATE AT 11:20pm: Business Card Template for MS Word

BUSINESS CARDS: Neal

Hey everyone,

I don't intend on bombarding the blog, but I just want to let you know that I'm planning on doing up a template for business cards with our new logo tomorrow (today, by the time most of you get this). I'll probably post the file once it's done.

Also, Matt commented that the logo might look better if the letters were bolder and shorter. I agree. I produced this, and I think it looks a lot more full than the other one

Have a good one!

WEEK 1: Neal Gillis

Neal here,
Seems as though Kristi has explained our week plan fairly well. My personal priorities for the week are:

• Get our summer planned out, week by week


• Talk to people on campus about getting Kristi and I a permanant office


• Working on the blog (getting relevant links up, putting the documents up, etc.)


• Figuring out the payroll situation

I threw this logo together Friday afternoon. Personally, I don't have any great feelings for it. If all y'all don't enjoy it, it can be changed, dropped, ripped up, whatever. My original thought for a logo was a huge flaming falcon with slab of marble in it's claws with "MYDAS" chiseled on the rock. After thinking about it, I produced this instead. The arrow represents moving forward, while the four coloured shapes that make up the arrow represent the four Atlantic provinces. The green one is NB (for it's forests), red for PEI (it's red soil), blue for NS (on the sea), and yellow for NFLD (as it's the first province to see the sun everyday). I chose gray text as it just looks nicer with those colours. Cheesy, I know, but it might look more professional than the flaming falcon. We can put it on business cards, PowerPoints, documents, t-shirts, whatever. If you have any comments please comment. I won't be the least bit offended.

Anyway folks, I hope everyone has a great week. Probably talk to you soon!
