“The Bobbleheads”
Allison Beale (George PR), Ty Beddingfield (Gamila), Aly Khalifa (Gamil Design), Sarah Powers (VAE), Gab Smith (Cherry Huffman)
Bobbleheads are a small group who oversee the vision and programming of SPARKcon through the ideas of the SPARK Teams. Each Bobblehead meets with specific SPARK groups to help with bringing ideas to reality and to orchestrate the schedule between the SPARKS. If you have ideas about events for SPARKcon should talk to one of the Bobbleheads first, and they will be able to direct you to the appropriate SPARK Team.

Hello! I wanted to throw out an idea that may be related to greenspark. I’m new to this event, so I’m not sure if someone is covering this topic: creative alternative transportation. Initially I was thinking “SpokeSpark” that would focus on local bicyclists and their fashionable enviro-friendly modes. So many cyclist have spent time and money to tailor a bike that makes statements on many levels.
Is this something I may pursue w/ an existing spark, or what can be done with this idea. My husband and I attended the meeting tonight, and we realize that the groups have already started organizing events. Would it be possible for us to create a monster collage of local bike pics to display at Sparkcon? Any other ideas?
I wanted to suggest a SPARK as well as volunteer to help out.
I think it would be great to have a giveSPARK. Showcasing creative ways people can donate (time/money) in Raleigh/ the triangle.
