I want us to give books to two young women from the two high schools Vicki has already contacted. (These are New Tech High and South High, which are both MCCSC schools - one alum thought New Tech was a charter but it is not).

I am willing to donate more money or do some work to add a young woman from North High School to our list.

I am willing to donate more money or do some work to add a young woman from Edgewood High School in Ellettsville, Indiana to our list.

I want us to give away as many books as possible, so we should give out an uneven number of books and use up all the money.

I want each young woman to get one really nice book and having a significant amount of money left over is no big deal.

I think everyone should get one expensive (hardback?) book and one really inexpensive paperback.

I want every award to be identical. Every young woman should get the exact same award.
