Apologies for not getting back to you sooner; we’ve been going at breakneck pace here with our Saturday Committee meetings and email trail-filled weekdays of chores, updates and more chores in preparation particularly for the Emerald Launch next Saturday: 19th March 2011. I have attached the draft official invite (now edited and printed) and the draft programme which has also been finalised and is ready for printing.
Summary of important updates
· The Launch is a self-funded (Alumnae) event;
· This Friday, 11th March: BARREL NIGHT at the Marist Club. Tickets: $10.00 each;
· In the last 4 weeks: the decade groups in particular, the 80s, 90s and 2000s have many fundraising meetings and events at the School Hall. Some of the classes within the decades have already collected their $500 per ‘graduating’ class group;
· There is a cocktails nibbles menu which we agreed to at the last Committee meeting (last Saturday and we shared it out between the decade groups;.
· The 70s are asked to bring quiche (veg and meat ones) and cheeseboards (4). Number expected: 400;
· The 70s, 60s and 50s have not yet provided any feedback on their fundraising activities except that some little groups have started to meet;
· For the 70s: Taravini (nee Niumataiwalu) and a group of 6 or 7 met at her home last week (here in Fiji) and she is hosting another such meeting tomorrow – Thursday (after work) – so that we can agree to a rapid-fire fundraiser(s) as the Committee has asked that we give in our $500 BEFORE the launch please. Tarai could you please confirm the time and your address;
· Meeting agenda: our $500 contributions and our menu contributions. I will share all of the details regarding our preparation plan for the Launch and touch on the discussions to date for the 24th – 31st JULY Emerald celebrations;
· I will also provide an update by email after the event for our ‘overseas’ alumnae members and we would appreciate any donations you may want to send to assist with the Launch. In my next email (on Friday 11th March) I will provide the bank account details and the budget for the Launch.
· For those of us in Suva who can make it to the meeting tomorrow: please come along even for 30 minutes.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
Warm regards,
Theresa.
