EggsChange

=Missions:=
 * Our micro-finance, community service project provides for farmers in remote Jiangxi with not only a reliable source of yearly income, but also guidance on starting a small business.
 * We establish for the farmers a direct connection to the outside world.
 * We promote healthy eating and green habits.
 * We instill a sense of social responsibility in students through our completely student-run project.

=Running the Project:=
 * Create a online/paper subscription system.
 * Example: []
 * Create a table with subscriber names and their subscriptions. One table per semester works best. List all the weeks of delivery and notate (1) eggs delivered (2) money paid differently.
 * (e.g. ** Red + bold ** if paid for; lime green background if delivered)
 * Try to keep a handwritten copy of payment records.
 * Transfer the money to Puxi EggsChange Account once per semester.
 * Also we are in charge of communication with BIOFarm and supplying their eggs. Contact Jane at the beginning of the year to ask how many they want per week and whether they are able to pick up the eggs from a certain location or do we need to deliver them to BIOFarm ourselves.
 * In the 2nd semester of 2012-2013 they charged 2.67 per egg and distributed them in variety baskets. This was because 15 eggs/carton was considered too many and too expensive. If we give them eggs in 6-egg cartons (in the storage room) they might pay more.
 * Communicate with Puxi often.
 * Check the eggschange.pd@gmail.com email frequently

= Creative Fundraising Ideas: =
 * Kinder Egg sale
 * Eggxam grams
 * Put a teacher in a chicken suit for a whole day
 * Colourful cracked hardboiled eggs (Julie's idea)
 * Could also team up with charities/performances

=In case of no eggs:=
 * Find out why
 * Immediate email to subscribers
 * Maybe compensation gift in the form of mint leaves or something else?
 * Ask whether subscribers want the deliveries forwarded to the next week
 * e.g. Sorry we can't deliver this week. Would you like two cartons next week instead of one, your original subscription?
 * Give back money to those who don't

=In case of too many eggs:=
 * Ask Jane if they want more
 * Colourful cracked boiled eggs
 * Sell eggs to other clubs for their bake sales
 * Sell eggs to Eurest (last resort - they're not likely to pay much but I guess this could help publicize the project)
