Cupertino Community Outreach Brainstorming:

 * have presence at community festivals (performance and/or booth)
 * Silicon Valley Fall Fest
 * Happy Kids Day
 * World Journal Festival (May/June)
 * develop relationships with area bilingual preschools. I'm thinking of inviting reps from each of the preschools to attend the December info session.
 * develop relationships with area Chinese schools. Work with CACLEC.
 * Pool resources for community action, information, school board action.
 * Social events: Picnics
 * Competitions: Trivia Bowl, Chinese games

Community Service Brainstorming:

 * work on local community service projects. I would like to see the kids visit senior centers and senior homes and practice their Chinese.

Overseas Community Service Brainstorming:

 * International aid projects for orphans in China. I know money, clothes, toys would go a long way. Or some other type of aid project.

Press Relations Brainstorming:
We need to think of more ways to bring the spotlight back on our program.


 * Perhaps we should have the Hsinchu sister-city group invite the Hsinchu mayor to Meyerholz.
 * Another idea is to see when the next bilingual-topic issue of Bay Area Parent will be and see if they'd like to write something about our public option.
