I updated the gmail contact list. Sent a Thank you letter to Corning Life Sciences.
Called Worley Parsons – the contact they gave me was apparently the wrong person. It was the HR person and she said she’ll find out who deals with sponsorship and get back to me. But I might just inquire and find out myself just in.
Company 2 (Jennifer Alexander)- called today but couldn’t get a hold of her so I left a msg follow up tomorrow
Cayman Chemicals ..called…needs a final confirmation from their President follow up July 31
Sigma Aldrich I sent her and email and left her a voicemail follow up tomorrow or day after
COLT Engineering – sent sponsorship pkg and I’ll call them on Thursday
Origene – I called today but they can’t sponsor any projects this year due to economic downfall
Finally sent Ms. Moser an email and the letter to be forwarded to Mr Jay Ingram.
I also wrote up the acknowledgement section of the wiki and sent it to Mandy. Tomorrow I’ll acknowledge each individual mentor/donator person.
I also called Wordans T-shirt company and told them about our project and what we want and asked for quotes and discounts. I got the email address of the manager and sent him and email about what we want on the shirt and if we ordered 30-40 shirts, how much would each cost?? He’ll get back to me soon and I can let you guys know.
I research some companies that I’ll be contacting within a few days and personalized the email to emphasize how iGEM's goal concides with the company's goal/project. Tomorrow I’ll update my notebook on the wiki.
