Fund Raising

Although this time round, it might not be financially necessary 2 do fund raising(this depends entirely on who we r hiring 4 d main performance, so d budget can only b confirmed afta finding tht out), I think itz best we do a bit for precation sake & also I realise fundraising is actually 1 of the best ways for publicity!

n regarding publicity, Jesh, u r so experienced in this, can u do it? No worries, nothing fancy is needed, since almost everybody is sure 2 turn up, juz a few posters when nearing d event 2 inform eveybody will do.

Back 2 fund raising, Ken n I figured selling mandarin oranges is not feasible. D cheapest possible 2 get is probably rm8 4 a box of 24. Thts rm1 4 3 oranges. D most we can possibly sell 3 oranges 4 is rm1.50. So we earn rm4 a box, puny lol. 2 earn juz rm40, we need 2 carry 10 boxes of mandarin around n sell 2 80 ppl! On top of tht, d oranges might spoil or worse DH might b serving mandarin oranges. Ken suggested selling d small type 1 instead whic cud b profitable. Any info on this?

I duno bout food(wud b happy 2 do if thr r any ideas), keychains(this sud b difficult) n chun lian(if smbody can write, it will b gr8). So ppl, plz gv ur ideas!

4 cny cards, will it sell if we sell it juz like tht? We wud probably sell more if we had delivery service together with a small gift, mayb d small mandarin oranges? Wat do u all think about this?

As 4 d bookmark, d most difficult part is 2 produce a nice 1, can tht b done efficiently by handwriting? Many of u r gd in art, is it a lot of work? D other way is to use d colour printer in IT Centre, muz try 2 get permission 4 tht(a bookmark is not tht big afta all...4 will fit in 1 A4 paper). Probably we can stick d design on a hard cardboard(think thr is a big white kind) together wit a ribbon. As 4 d design, i hv an idea tht we get students' Malay names n write d Chinese characters 4 it, plus d meaning of each Chinese character(of cuz we choose auspicious ones), think they might love it. Thts juz an idea, any other ideas?

As always, everythg is open 4 disscussion.

I really hope more ppl post their ideas & opinions 4 this event k. Juz post anythg u think, itz wat this blog is 4, open disscusion. 4 those who did, thk u v much. I hope d rest of u can contribute ur opinions n thoughts..
