Speaker: Cozy Wittman - Education and Partnerships Manager, College Inside Track
If you went to college, you probably have stories that you can't tell your kids.  I know I have a couple.  One item I am more than happy to tell my children is that college is EXPENSIVE!  It can be even more expensive if the right measures are not taken upfront.
 
Luckily for us we have an individual/organization that can help us navigate through this stressful time and potentially make it enjoyable.  Cozy Wittman with College Inside Track will be our navigator tomorrow. 
 
Cozy has spent her career educating adults, helping people think outside the box and connecting people with common interests. At College Inside Track she runs both the parent events as well as professional development training for those who work with families who have High School students, she speaks nationally on college search.
 
Cozy is excited to to connect with organizations and families interested in learning more about the complex college process.  She is a mom of 5 kids with very different goals for college so she is no stranger to the college search challenge.
Ramble Jam Committee update!
Is everyone else seeeing Ramble Jam in their eye lids when they go to sleep.  If you are not, it is time to get on the Ramble Jam train!
 
The big push right now is to get sponsorships.  If you know of any local business, please reach on out to them.  You may not know of a business but I bet your sphere of influence does.  I tell this to everyone I know: "If you never ask, the answer is always no"  It may feel a little uncomfortable the first time you ask for a sponsorship but trust me when I say that it gets a lot easier the more you do it.  If you need a .pdf of the sponsorship packet, please email email and I will be more than happy to email one out to you. 
 
There were some great brainstorming ideas to get the word out about Ramble Jam and raffle tickets.  One of those is getting to other Rotary Club meetings and speading the good word.  We have other Rotary Clubs come in all the time with their fundraisers.  It is now time to return the favor and push hard for the raffle tickets :)  The other item was using our lovely children to get the word out about the raffle tickets.  Synergy sat outside Family Fresh and sold out of their raffle tickets!  It is time to take a page from their book and do the same.  If anyone else has any other great ideas to get these raffle tickets sold, bring them to the meeting on Thursday.
 
Finally, if you have not been to a Ramble Jam Committee meeting I strongly urge you to attend.  They are informative, fun and I always leave with a smile on my face from the laughs.  As I had said before, it is time to get on the Ramble Jam train!
