Executive Summary
Executive SummaryThe purpose of the Bonanza Project is to provide many valuable benefits
for the entire Walnut Hills High School Community by opening a store for
Carpe Candys use inside of the school. This proposal outlines a detailed
plan of how Carpe Candy will successfully accomplish this task.
Currently, Carpe Candy cannot successfully provide all of its products and
services to all of its potential customers, which are the students and
faculty members 1 of Walnut Hills High School. The benefits of the
Bonanza Project will be exponentially higher than the benefits of the Blue
Moon Project. The Bonanza Project will create a source of money, much
larger than the Blue Moon Project produced, for Walnut Hills High School,and for Carpe Candy.
1 A faculty member is any person who is not a student, such as a teacher,
administrator, counselor, cafeteria worker, custodian, etc.

The Bonanza Project is essentially the same as the Blue Moon Project,
except on a much larger scale. For the Blue Moon Project, Walnut Hills
High School provided Carpe Candy with a suitable environment within the
school for it to sell its products and services, and will be doing the same
for the Bonanza Project. In both the Blue Moon Project and the Bonanza
Project, Carpe Candy operates independently, and does not require any
monetary support from Walnut Hills High School.With the Bonanza Project, Carpe Candy will be like a permanent fund-
raiser for Walnut Hills High School. Walnut Hills High School will receive
a constant, significant, and a guaranteed amount of money, each month,
indefinitely.
The Bonanza Project will give Carpe Candy a much more professional
and respectable appearance. This will give Carpe Candy a distinct
advantage, which will result in increased revenues for Carpe Candy, and
increased profits for Walnut Hills High School.
With the Bonanza Project, Carpe Candy will only be able to sell its
products and services at times that its store is open. Dave Myers will not
have any of Carpe Candys products with him during his school classes,
meaning that Carpe Candy will only be able to sell its products and
services when its store is open.
The Bonanza Project will allow Carpe Candy to successfully sell all of its
-

The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 4
products and services to all of its potential customers, something that it
was not able to do with the Blue Moon Project.
Abstract
Abstract
During the Bonanza Project, Carpe Candy will open a store, which will beinside of Walnut Hills High School. Carpe Candys store will be in the
same area of the Old Student Store, and it will open for business at the
beginning of the next school year. The main goal of Carpe Candy is to
provide many valuable benefits for the entire Walnut Hills High School
Community, and it can only do this by opening a store inside of Walnut
Hills High School.
Project Description

The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 5
Project DescriptionThe Bonanza Project will provide many valuable benefits for the entire
Walnut Hills High School Community. Wholesome products such as fresh
muffins, fresh bagels, fresh fruit, and an assortment of milk and juices will
be available to all of the students and faculty members of Walnut HillsHigh School. Carpe Candy may also sell a wide variety of school supplies
to all of the students and faculty members. These items may include
notebooks, pens, liquid paper, combination locks, calculators, and many
more. Carpe Candy will also be able to sell necessary school materials
that Walnut Hills High School currently sells, such as safety goggles and
science fair display boards, for the school without making any profit from
the sales.
During the Bonanza Project, Carpe Candy will sell its products and
services during five different time periods of the day - before school,
during all three lunch periods, and after school. In order for this to occur,
Dave Myers school schedule must be arranged accordingly. It will be
possible for him to meet all of his academic requirements and still have
time to operate Carpe Candys store. Dave Myers must be allowed to
spend time during his study hall(s) operating Carpe Candys store.
Because of the location that Carpe Candys store will be in, it will be a
great idea for Walnut Hills High School to consider it an extension of the
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
6/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 6
schools cafeteria, allowing Carpe Candys customers to patronize the
store during the schools three lunch periods.
Carpe Candy understands that Walnut Hills High School does not
schedule classes close to the area that Carpe Candys store will be in
during the three lunch periods, meaning that no classes will be disrupted
during those times. It will be possible for Carpe Candy to sell all of itsproducts and services during all three lunch periods, and for Walnut Hills
High School to maintain control over the students inside and outside of its
cafeteria. Because of Carpe Candys stores close location to the
cafeteria, Walnut Hills High School will be able to reposition its hall
monitor from outside of the cafeterias north entrance to in front of Carpe
Candys store. This will allow the hall monitor to control the movement of
students in the first floor north hallway and the north stairwell closest to
the cafeteria, and at the same time allow all of Carpe Candys customers
patronize its store during all three lunch periods. Because of the hall
monitors inside of Walnut Hills High Schools cafeteria, the repositioned
hall monitor will not cause any loss of student supervision.
Carpe Candy must have complete control over the environment inside of
its store. Carpe Candy must also have complete control over the exterior
of the door to its store. This is obviously important so that Carpe Candys
store will be in a presentable condition and so that Carpe Candys
customers will have a good impression of it. Carpe Candy will not do
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
7/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 7
anything to the interior of its store and/or to the exterior of its door that
would be deemed unacceptable by Walnut Hills High School.
For the Bonanza Project, Carpe Candy will pay a fixed fee to Walnut Hills
High School each month, as opposed to a percentage of the net profits.
This will be beneficial for Walnut Hills High School because the school will
be guaranteed a certain amount of money each month, and the amount ofmoney that it does receive will not be affected by slow sales and/or larger
than normal expenses. Carpe Candy will pay a fee of ten dollars to
Walnut Hills High School for each day it is able to sell its products and
services in its store. On the first school day of each month, Walnut Hills
High School will receive a payment of ten dollars for each day Carpe
Candy was able to sell its products and services in its store during the
previous month.
Carpe Candy will require an adult advisor for the Bonanza Project. Mr.
Tom Wilger, a teacher at Walnut Hills High School, has tentatively agreed
to accept this responsibility. When necessary, he will advise Carpe
Candy on various aspects of the Bonanza Project, and he will be
responsible for helping handle any challenges that may arise with the
project. He will help take some of the responsibilities that are involved
with the Bonanza Project off the Walnut Hills High School Administration.
He will not be expected to manage Carpe Candy on a day-to-day basis,
and he wont have to work in Carpe Candys store. Although Mr. Wilger
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
8/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 8
will be Carpe Candys advisor, he will not have any liability for Carpe
Candys actions. Mr. Wilger will officially agree to be Carpe Candys
advisor after Walnut Hills High School approves the Bonanza Project and
after he has spoken to Dave Myers parents.
Obviously, the Bonanza Project will have some unpredictable results. The
best way to know exactly what all of the results of the Bonanza Project willbe is to have a trial period. After a trial period is over, Carpe Candy and
Walnut Hills High School can evaluate the Bonanza Project, and decide
whether or not to continue.
The Bonanza Project will improve Walnut Hills High Schools already
extremely positive image. People will admire the fact that a school can
have an independent business inside of it that benefits the school, all of
the students and faculty members, the owner of the business, and at the
same time has a program with extremely high standards such as Walnut
Hills High School.
Background
BackgroundCarpe Candy has a strong background supporting the Bonanza Project.

The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 9
Carpe Candy has sold candy and related products for approximately three
years, with one year involved with the Blue Moon Project. There is a
strong demand for candy and related products at Walnut Hills High
School. This has been shown by the strong sales of Carpe Candy with
the Blue Moon Project.
The Blue Moon Project has been a phenomenal success. Carpe Candyhas met and exceeded all of its highest expectations for the project.
Because the Bonanza Project shares the same principles with the Blue
Moon Project, the Bonanza Project will be bigger and better, and produce
more revenues for Carpe Candy, and more profits for Walnut Hills High
School than the Blue Moon Project did.
Mr. Marvin Koenig, the principal of Walnut Hills High School, has told
Dave Myers that the Bonanza Project will not be in violation of any law or
policy.
Motivation and Need
Motivation and NeedThere are several motivations and needs for the Bonanza Project:
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
10/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 10
Carpe Candy must be able to reach all of its potential customers.
It is currently impossible for Carpe Candy to sell all of its products
and services to all of the students and faculty members of Walnut
Hills High School.
During part of the Blue Moon Project, Carpe Candy was barely ableto sell its products and services to all of the people eating lunch on
the Commons during the first lunch period. Most of the time, there
were no more than a few hundred people on the Commons at that
time, showing that Carpe Candy was only able reach a fraction of
its potential customers.
With a store, Carpe Candy will be able to reach all of its potential
customers.
Walnut Hills High School needs extra money.
Walnut Hills High School is not in perfect condition, and would
benefit greatly from a constant, significant, and a guaranteed
amount of money each month.
With the money paid to Walnut Hills High School from Carpe
Candy, the school will be able to buy a brand new personal
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
11/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 11
computer each complete school year.
Walnut Hills High School will receive ten dollars per every day
Carpe Candy is able to sell its products and services in its store.
Carpe Candy needs to grow and expand its business.
_ All great companies must be in a continuous process of growth and
expansion.
_ If a company isnt growing and expanding, it will never make more
money, and more important, it will never be able to reach all of its
potential customers.
_ With the Bonanza Project, Carpe Candy will be able to grow and
expand so it can reach all of its potential customers, resulting in
increased revenues for Carpe Candy, and increased profits for
Walnut Hills High School.

RE: Solutions for concerns regarding the Bonanza Project
To whom it may concern:
I have met with Mr. Koenig and discussed the Bonanza Project and all ofits aspects. During this meeting he expressed one major concern. Hewas concerned about the impact that the Bonanza Project would have onother candy fund-raisers at Walnut Hills High School. His concerns areextremely valid, but do not constitute stopping the Bonanza Project. I amvery confident that we can find a solution that would solve all of thechallenges of the Bonanza Project, and that would make everyone happy.
Even with the Bonanza Project, other candy fund-raisers at Walnut Hillswould still have a large advantage over Carpe Candy. In general, it wouldbe much more convenient for the average student to buy candy fromsomeone other than Carpe Candy.
The Bonanza Project will involve Carpe Candy selling other products besidescandy. These products include gum, food, drinks (pop, juice, coffee), schoolsupplies, and possibly magazines. As you can see, the Bonanza Project will makeCarpe Candy very diversified, meaning that the school can benefit from otherareas besides candy.
Below is a list of possible solutions that can solve our challenge of the BonanzaProject interfering with other candy fund-raisers:
_ During the time when an organization at Walnut Hills has a candy fund-raiser, Carpe Candy can sell their products in its store without making any
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
25/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 25
profit from the sales. Although some products from candy fund-raisersoverlap Carpe Candys products, they are generally in different packaging.As a result, sales of candy fund-raisers will go up and the students of
Walnut Hills will have more selection to choose from.
_ Carpe Candy could raise its prices on certain items that it sells whichoverlap with other organizations products during certain times of theschool year. This will make other organizations candy more attractive,and students would be more likely to buy their candy.
_ Carpe Candy would be able to supply organizations at Walnut Hills, whichsell candy, with their products to sell, and offer them a better price thanwhat they now pay. Carpe Candy would be able to arrange a deal wherethey could pay less than .50 for a candy bar that retails for $1.
_ Carpe Candy could donate its time and money to put a label on each pieceof candy for other candy-selling organizations. These labels could thank customers for buying their candy and supporting their cause. With theselabels, sales of other candy-selling organizations will dramaticallyincrease.
_ Walnut Hills could give some of the money that it would receive from theBonanza Project to the organizations within the school that have candyfund-raisers in order to help compensate for some of the changes that mayoccur.
As you can see, there are many possible solutions to concerns regarding theBonanza Project and that there is no valid reason to stop it. If we work together,the sales of all of our organizations have the potential to make a spectacular rise.
If you have any question about any aspect of the Bonanza Project or any aspect of Carpe Candy please contact me at [email protected] or (513) 702-5835 atany time, day or night. If you would like, we can have a private meeting in orderto discuss any of your questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank you for your time and attention, and I look forward to all of us working

RE: The Bonanza Project
Dear Mrs. Dola McMullen, Mrs. Donna Perzigian, Mr. Stephen Ranker, Mr.John Young:
I want to thank you for taking interest in the Bonanza Project and usingsome of your extremely valuable time to evaluate my proposal. Aftermeeting with Mr. Koenig, I understand that you may have a few remainingconcerns regarding the project. In this letter I hope to resolve any remainingissues you may have about the Bonanza Project and tell you how the project willbe beneficial for everyone.
Mr. Koenig conveyed to me that you dont like the idea that I will be personally
gaining money from the Bonanza Project. Here are several reasons why I shouldbe entitled to personally gain from the project:
Everything that I gain from the project will be a result of the labor that Iput into it. This country is founded on the idea of free enterprise and thatif you want something you have to work for it. I am very happy to havethis wonderful opportunity to start a project that will benefit everyone, andgain from it at the same time. This should be seen as a positive thing andnot a negative one.
Walnut Hills High School already allows private companies to sell theirproducts to its captive audience for the purpose of making profit.Examples of these services include class rings, school pictures, foodservice, the printing of the Remembrancer , and the printing of TheChatterbox .
-
8/14/2019 Carpe Candy - The Bonanza Project
28/31
The Bonanza Project March 9, 2000 28
Although I will be personally gaining money, no other involved party withthe project will lose money or be negatively affected. All of the studentsand faculty members will be provided with extremely valuable services,the school will have an extra source of income which involves virtually noeffort on its part, and I will gain the awards from all of my hard work.
The Bonanza Project will provide several valuable services for all of the studentsand faculty members of the school. One of these services may be the sale of school supplies. I may sell school supplies for profit, but I can also sell necessary
materials currently sold by the school, such as safety goggles and science fairdisplay boards, for the school without making any profit on the sales.
After going through some financial projections, I felt that giving payments to theschool of $8 per day for the Bonanza Project will be fair and reasonable. If youhave any concerns about this I am very open to any suggestions that you mayhave, and I encourage you to express them to me.
I think that the Bonanza Project will continue Walnut Hills High Schools verypositive image. People will admire the fact that a school can have an independentbusiness inside of it that benefits the school, all of the students and facultymembers, the owner of the business, and at the same time have a school programwith extremely high standards such as Walnut Hills has. I think that the open-minded ideas of the Bonanza Project will speak very highly of the schooladministration. The students of the school will greatly appreciate anadministration that will allow them to enjoy such conveniences as a mid-daysnack at a low cost.
The only way to know exactly what will happen as a result of the Bonanza Projectis to have a short trial period. I have Mr. Koenigs support for this idea and I amwilling to do whatever it takes to get the Bonanza Project off the ground. I will beable to open a store on February 1, 2000. I can execute the Bonanza Project untilthe end of the school year and then we can evaluate the project over the summerand decide wether or not to continue next school year.
After you reach a decision or have a response to this letter, please send it to me viae-mail, [email protected], by November 2, 1999.

RE: Presentation confirmation for the Bonanza Project, and somechanges in the project
Dear Mr. Koenig:
I am very happy to inform you that I am almost ready to present the BonanzaProject to the Instructional Leadership Team of Walnut Hills High School. I am
scheduled to present the Bonanza project to the ILT on February 9, 2000. Iunderstand that there is a small possibility of a Cincinnati Federation of Teachersstrike on February 8 th. If this event, or any other event, prevents me frompresenting the Bonanza Project on February 9 th, I will present it to the ILT onFebruary 23 rd.
There are a few important changes that need to be made regarding the BonanzaProject.
Contrary to what I have previously stated, I do not wish to offer the service of putting a customized label on each piece of candy for candy-selling organizationsat Walnut Hills. This service was originally intended to help counteract anypossible effects the Bonanza Project might have on candy fund-raisers. Thisservice would require an enormous amount of time and money and it would berelatively ineffective.

I would like to increase the amount of money that Walnut Hills High School willreceive each day during the Bonanza Project from eight dollars to ten dollars.With this change, Walnut Hills High School will receive almost four hundreddollars more each school year.
I trust that you will not have any objections to these changes. I feel that they needto be made in order to improve the quality and efficiency of the Bonanza Project.
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
