Got a sick mind?

Oh yeah, all the committees heads, please arrange meetings and deadlines by yourselves, and also please try to stick to my proposed deadlines in my post before. Thanks!

And i know i've been talking a lot of business talk lately, so here's a funny ( and sick ) video elton showed me. WARNING: Not for the young and impressionable, and don't watch when a parent is behind you. Really.

Hi all, time to talk business.

The sorting into committees for SLV has been done! Due to underwhelming response, i had to put some of you people into the committee i think you'll excel in the most. Hopefully there's no discontent with the arrangement, if any of you has any, tell me and i'll see what i can do about it. Btw the * would mean that the person is one of the 2 leaders in the committee. So here goes...

Communication (7)
Angie *
Ken *
Amit
Huiping
Siling
Elton
Derong

For the Comm. comm. (comm. ^2 !), you have to find relevant targets and then approach them to see if we can execute our plan with their cooperation. Reminder : Our target has been decided that it'll be children, so try to keep it within orphanages or childcare centres.  All the other communication needs of the other 2 committees will also be under you guys (like booking or ordering or whatnot), but the main objective here is to get an organisation that is willing to cooperate with us. Once that is done you'll help out in the other committees also. More on that later.

Logistics (8)
Cihui *
Sabeer *
Peiyun
Macus
Eunice
Yihao
Boonbin
Amos

Logistics comm will have to think of, decide and get all the stuff we need, by any legal means, and to keep within budget ($40). You guys will need to no. of people that are going to know how much of what to get, so before that info comes in, you can think about what to get and find out the pricing for each item, then find the max. no. of people we can bring along with our budget. Please please please try to keep to the budget as much as possible, cause if we overshoot the extra will either have to come from fundraising or our own pockets, both which are very troublesome so yah.

Planning (12)
Arun *
Liushuang*
Mengyi
Sandesh
Desiree
Shiyao
Neha
Hanlin
Tianlong
Melissa
Prashant
Qingrong

Planning comm. have quite a lot to do. You'll have to
-Plan the schedule. Try to keep it at around 6 hrs, including traveltime and lunchtime and all hte other kinds of times.
-Predict and come up with solutions for potential problems. I'll include a list of potential problem we have already thought of, and you can add to that. If you need any help from the committees for the solutions, tell the leaders and me.
-Plan route. This would mean that you have to go down to the barrage to collect data ( places to go, traveltime etc.) so i'll leave you guys to decide on that.
- Think of the learning outcomes for this trip. Refer to my scans to ask me for the guidelines and suggested learning outcomes.
- Most importantly, be on time! The whole plan is what i may need to write the proposal and perhaps needed to also persuade the organisations to work with us. Logistics also may need some info from you guys, so please try to stick to the schedule!

Okay that's all for committees. Now for timings.

Mrs chan said the proposal will have to be handed in by wednesay optimally, but i think that should be impossible without the info. So, i'll try to bargain with her somehow, to be submitted to her by the wednesday after march hols. Therefore,

Planning: Try to get the plan more or less written up by the Sunday before school starts, so i can rush the proposal on time.

Communication : Try to contact some of the organisations, and see if they're willing to let us bring their children out for a day during or sometime before june hols. If they no need a plan yet even better. If they do, then take note of their name and we'll call them back once our plan is done. Preferably to be done by the march hols Friday.

Logistics : Try to figure out the max no. of people we can bring along. If cannot, at the minimum, get the list of stuff we need and the pricing, as low as possible. Also on Sunday.

Okay, this bit is for Planning. I know this is one long post, but do bear with me for a while more.

In addition to the weather problems, we'll have problems like what we can or cannot do there, like painting there, which will probably create a mess, so do we abort the plan or find an alternative? Also, we have to make sure we don't bring the children out too early or send them back to late, so about 4 - 5 they should be back. 

Okay that should be all, if anything missing i'll post it up again and got any queries contact me. Oh and i forgot to mention, we're doing the 1st idea, cause painting in the centre/ orphanage will be too messy and uncoordinated and all sorts of problems, so yeah.

Night!

For those people who don't like to check their inboxes...

Budget : $40

Target : Children from an orphanage / childcare centre

1st option:
We'll bring the children to Marina Barrage to
- fly kite
- picnic
- look at stuff
- paint
- make kite?
Angie : Like an adventure camp

Problems : Rain, maybe too hot in the afternoon.


2nd option:
We can help them paint a wall or do a big painting for the childcare centre / orphanage
of course, with the children's involvement.

Problems: Children may create a very large mess

And we'll need 3 committees

Logistics
- Handling all equipment, including food, materials etc.
- Budget management

Communication
- Contact all the relevant people.

Planning
- Plan the schedule
- find solutions for expected problems

All of us will be involved for the activity at the end.

Please tell me any other problems you thought of the 2 options or if you go anything to add on
and which committee you would prefer to be in.

No guarantees cause if there's imbalance I'll have to rearrange some people. LATEST by sat, or I have to place you in random places liao.

I'll mass email you guys the draft for the SLV by sunday and if you find anything wrong in the draft or got anything to add please tell me.

Through msn or email please.

- DR
Okay guys, time for some business.

I just emailed all of you the SLV guidelines and stuff. So guys go see and if you got any idea or wanna suggest where we go or what to do tell me either through msn, or email me at ang.de.rong.2009@vjc.sg. And don't shy, cause mrs chan is hounding me for the stuff liao, though it's like the start of march only.

And we have to do the house banner. Siling say latest is probably monday or tuesday, so one day between now to then we have to do this banner thing. Paint we share with 09A15, but cloth we have to go get. Anyone happens to know where to get cloth can volunteer? Siling knows a place, but she most probably cannot go get it by tomorrow.

And last thing is, come for guitar ensem concert on 22nd may!

Ciao,
