This is a proposal to create a holiday-themed program for kids, aimed at
|
|
raising money for and awareness of [the Loaves & Fishes
|
|
program](http://www.loavesandfishesdc.org/). Saturday night (weekend in
|
|
December) would be the best time.

|
## Detailed Proposal
|
|
|
|
The idea is basically to have the Church transformed into a technology
|
|
playground for kids of the area, in a very Christmas type fashion. The
|
|
main things we could have is someone (Nick? hehe) dressed up as Santa
|
|
sitting on the stage talking with kids, we could have plenty of food for
|
|
both kids and maybe the homeless (like [the F&L
|
|
program](http://www.loavesandfishesdc.org/) already does)... The
|
|
stage/meeting area in the Church could be the kids area and then we
|
|
could have a separate area for just [the F&L
|
|
program](http://www.loavesandfishesdc.org/) portion... So with foods and
|
|
Santa comes the best part and the main reason we would want to be
|
|
involved...
|
|
|
|
We can have little workshops setup throughout the church with little
|
|
Christmas-type kits where we can teach the kids about technology and
|
|
creating/MAKEing/building and certainly the reality of developing
|
|
whatever you dream.
|
|
|
|
Ideally, I was thinking the workshops would include things like: NYCR's
|
|
lazz0r and 3D printing (with some of us helping them design Christmas
|
|
type objects to build, we need a project to collaborate with them
|
|
anyway), One of MAKE:DC's awesome little kit builds designed with a
|
|
Christmas theme for kids (Mark, want to design?), Maybe Elliot can do a
|
|
micro controller class where they make some type of LED Christmas tree
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
The reality of it is that we would need a whole lot of support and
|
|
participation from our members and friends of HacDC. This doesn't have
|
|
to be something amazingly EPIC at first, but if we stay around awhile
|
|
(even if we do move) we could do this anually. Not only would this help
|
|
our 501c3 but it's also a great thing to do for our community and for
|
|
the holidays in general.

Richard has lots of turkeys and may be able to bring in his old chamber
|
|
group together for it
