Arthur Michel Update - May 20, 2025

Hi Arthur,

Here's where we stand with the June 14th Parent Event:

  • Onboarded local production company (Figure It Out Agency and Castillo) - meeting today to finalize details
  • Working on city permitting today - first Ramp charge will be $50-500 for this
  • Securing event insurance - this will be the second charge
  • Identified 7 local vendors for the block party portion
  • Contacted local DJs for kid-friendly entertainment
  • Connected with e-gaming vendors for interactive experiences to engage children
  • Coordinating with Do512 and "When Where What" to leverage their parent databases for outreach
  • Planning targeted Facebook campaigns, flyers, and local outreach
  • Finalizing the structure for the three indoor sessions/plenaries focused on parent conversion

On the financial side:

  • First Ramp charges happening today for permitting, insurance, and Ron's May stipend
  • Team is preparing comprehensive invoice with all itemized costs
  • 50% deposit to vendors will be charged by Friday (May 23rd)
  • Remaining 50% will be processed the week of the event
  • We're keeping everything within the approved budget

It's been a productive first week post-approval!

Gary
