Update on ICC

Here's a very encouraging email response by Yung Tyng. As for the rest of you, I've yet to hear from you. Yet. It doesn't have to be purely giving suggestions only, just showing your support for this event is encouraging enough. But I digress...

Sorry for not having replied to your mails, but i was attending a church camp, 6-10 dec, which was during the days where you sent the notice, and when the meeting was also held.

I've read the latest update on the ICC meeting, and i'd like to contribute to the charity event too. Maybe i could contribute in the publicity area, which mainly includes advertising the event, posters, tickets, flyers, backdrops etc. you know, things that mostly involve visuals, and i know where to print cheap. But most importantly i'll have to come up with some fundraising ideas first, being a funding director... lol

Now i've got some ideas for cutting down on the expenses. My church is having a christmas dinner event, and it's held at the Damansara Palace Restaurant at Kota Damansara, where the price can be as low as RM35 per person (price already includes seat and food). The hall can have around 30 tables, each enough to seat 10 people. I'll get additional information regarding the menu (halal or not i really have no idea). Well this is definitely not the only alternative, but conclusion is, it's cheaper to have the event at restaurants, instead of booking function rooms. We'll just have to source for more of these venues which meet the requirements.

Fundraising... sponsors are quite difficult, but i'll try list some possible ones. About the money we're raising for the beneficiaries, i'd like to know whether the money is already included in the ticket, or do the people donate seperately during the event?

As for the next meeting, i am really unsure about the days when i'm free, i have events to attend to all during the next 2 weeks. Hope you can update about the date and time then i'll see to it.

Regards,
yt.
