Meeting Notes

Last night we counted the votes and there was a three-way-tie! Our choices were the Palace of Fine Arts, the SFMOMA, and Lombard Street. It was a hard choice as all three depict the "Spirit of San Francisco." We made a decision during the meeting; however, we have to keep our lips sealed until our choice is secure with the people at CANstruction. Kristy, our design lead, will be putting together our design submittal. Fumi, our fundraising and CANstruction lead will be completing our potential donor list. Our next meeting is Tuesday, Feb 22 to go over the preliminary design sketch and next fundraising steps!

Note:
The blog is still in beta, so you may notice changes to the banner and side bar in the upcoming weeks as we get things finalized.

CANstruction 101

This blog was created as a way to showcase and develop some of the ideas that we have for CANstruction. Other states and counties have done this in the past, but this is the first ever San Francisco CANstruction competition. This is a non-profit competition where teams of architects, engineers and contractors build sculpture made out of canned food in order to raise food, money and awareness about local hunger. After the competition, all food and proceeds will go to benefit the San Francisco Food Bank. Past CANstruction sculptures have been been very creative and we are very excited and proud to be a part of this inaugural event.

On Monday we gathered images for design ideas for the sculpture. Some ideas included the Palace of Fine Arts, the SFMOMA, Lombard Street, Chinatown Gates, AT&T Park and more! Voting in the office ends tomorrow. We'll be tabulating the votes and are having our next meeting tomorrow at 5:30pm.
