Michelle Conley (Illinois) is a very smart Ambassador! She recently decided to contact her local after school program, called the Champion’s Program to introduce the youngsters to Professor Brainstorm!
The program services Woodland School in Gages Lake, Illinois, giving their students somewhere to go after the school day ends. When Michelle first approached the director about coming out and playing with the students, the response was positive, but there were too many children! Michelle quickly decided to host three events and visit each site separately.
What to bring? Michelle e-mailed Ilyse Brainin and soon she was online purchasing product to sell and inviting Ilyse to present the game to the students! Michelle “bundled” her products (2mats, 2decks) and offered it for $40.00! She also had expansion packs on hand for added fun!
Michelle also decided not go it alone! She called the person who signed her up, who is also a friend, Jennifer Tunelius ! Together they approached parents as they came to pick up their children, many of them still playing! Michelle or Jennifer made sure to ask the parent to fill out their e-mail information, and show them the products. Michelle collected the parents’ information so she can notify them of up and coming events and touch base with them again when new products or the online world are introduced! - GREAT IDEA! Michelle made about $60.00 an event for about 3 hours of work, while having fun! GREAT JOB!
Here is the feedback from the director of the program!:
Hi Michelle -
From what everyone told the kids loved it. Both sites have been playing it non-stop. The 24th will be good for Elem East. I will let the staff know. If you would like to hand out flyers ahead of time that is fine.

Program Coordinator
