November 12, 2010 To: Stephen Berdahl President of Imports@CPP

Dear Stephen Berdahl,

I am an active member of the club. The meetings we have every Thursday are great and I have a lot of fun. I would just like to propose an idea to get more people a part of the club.

I would to propose that we change the name of the club. I think this will bring in more people because the name "Imports" gives people the wrong idea. The club is open to any car whether it's an import or a domestic. I feel as though when a person who owns a domestic car reads are flyer he or she is turned away immediately just because of the name. With more people in the club, we will be able to raise more money for events like car shows. I believe the name could be changed to "Driven@CPP" or even Rides@CPP. These names still let people know that our club is about cars but will not make them feel as though we are discriminating. Our club is for all students who like cars whether it is a domestic or import so why have name the makes them feel as though are club is only for imports.

Not only will we be making more money but we will have a larger group and the club will get more recognition around school. If we start to get more diverse it will allow others to come in and we can be known as a real club on campus. Please consider changing the name for the good of the club

Sincerely,

Jake Johnston

- YES!!! I was persuaded. Why was I persuaded? I was persuaded because the writer gave supporting suggestions, although work is needed on the accuracy of these suggestions. He/She explained how the changes would benefit the president, as well as the overall success of the club. I think it was well thought out. I think that by giving these supporting suggestions with facts will strenghten the overall letter. **-13** ======

**Review#2** **- I was very persuaded. I thought you had a very good idea. I think a change in the club name would get more members. Also it was good that you mentioned how the club would make more money because of it. Money always seems to persuade people. - 17**
