Hebrew Senior Life #4

This week in Hebrew Senior life, we dealt more with figuring out the next steps of our project. We were told to make an electronic residential book for the staff (for now), that consisted of every residents name in alphabetical order, a blank spot if they didn't have their picture taken, and their picture if they did. They also requested that this book be automatic, so it is easy to delete and insert new/old people if need be.
We proceded to inform them that not only did we not have the knowledge or technology to set this up, but we didn't even have a full list of every residents name, let alone in alphabetical order. They asked if we could have a conference call to discuss exactly what they wanted, but couldn't do it until April 3rd due to somebody being on vacation. We then informed them that this was in fact when our project was due, so it wouldn't work. We did, however, offer to create a manual stating what we did to take the pictures and how we did it, to hopefully make it easier for the two other Hebrew Senior Life locations to mimic it, but they did not seem interested in the concept.
Instead, they thanked us for the work we did with them and for helping to jump start this new system they are implementing. I am going to send them an email, reminding them that Communication for Entrepreneurship is a class that will be around next year, so it is possible there will be students interested in continuing our project in the fall if it would be helpful to them.

Let's make sure, before this project ends, that they are comfortable with next steps. I know that it's not always been easy to work with HSL, but they are an important client and I want to be sure we continue this relationship.
