SEEK 2013 Promotion Week

The first week of October, our FOCUS team put into action our SEEK2013 marketing plan. SEEK2013 is the FOCUS national conference that will be happening in Orlando, Florida from January 2-6. The purpose of the conference is to help college students answer the most important questions in life, such as "Does God exist? Does truth exist?" Through this experience we hope they will encounter the love of Jesus Christ and desire to grow in a personal relationship with Jesus while coming back to Loras and sharing their joy for the faith with others!

We had a detailed and extensive marketing plan, including renting Mickey and Minnie Mouse costumes to highlight the fact that the conference will be in Orlando at the Swan and Dolphin Resort in Walt Disney World. Here are just a few of the things our week consisted of:

Stacey and Aly were in charge of the walkway. It looked awesome and helped spread the word on campus!

We spent over an hour on Sunday night chalking all over campus "SEEK What Moves You."

In the main building on campus we one whole wall to put up our materials.

Maria was in charge of making the small posters and did an excellent job!

Aly designed t-shirts for the missionaries and the student leaders and we wore them all week long.

Then comes Mickey and Minnie....this was quite the adventure! All the missionaries took turns wearing the costumes and we had a detailed schedule for when and where Mickey and Minnie would appear on campus.

Tyler had to try on the head right when they arrived!

Lots of students wanted pictures with the characters!

We ended the week by tabling on Thursday and Friday, letting students know what SEEK2013 is all about, and giving them information on how to sign up for the conference.

The following week we had two info nights where we gave more information to the students and provided them materials to help with fundraising for the cost of the conference. 

I think all the missionaries were ready for the week to be over. We put a ton of effort and time into promoting SEEK2013 and pray that many students will answer God's call and come! Check out the website at seek2013.com for videos and more information!

And to finish it all off...check out these videos of Mickey and guess who it is:)
