FUNDRAISING

We hosted a Bake Sale on campus

and raised $74. The money raised from our Bake Sale went towards purchasing a name plate for the time capsule, as well as photo paper to print photo submissions.

We spent a lot of time researching time capsules. This included:

○ Meeting with the KSU archivists

○ Locating the International Time Capsule Society, which happens to be located in Atlanta, GA
