Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My target population will be inspired to remember those that came before them and the impact those people had on the community and on the women who will come after them. It will also impact the target population to consider passing on the artifacts they have to their children.I will measure the number of attendees to my exhibit and the reaction of those who view it. The goals of my project will be met if I can inspire the viewers to remember the women that came before and that the tokens of love still have meaning for the next generation of daughters.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Many more people attended the capstone than I had expected. I was asked to sell the pieces, which I am giving to each recipient. The projected inspired several other communities to look at a project like this for history museums. I have had quite a few special orders.
