(If time persists) sponsors. Almost got them but until they heard when the execution was they withdrew

Approaches her, she initially refuses until Joshua presents her with the SMU mug. She finally relents, and gives her stamp of approval.

Sponsors
Joshua approaches the sponsor. “Politely asks for sponsorship”
Goes around asking for some sponsor. Everyone says no. Then finally the last sponsor which is the caterer finally caves in with a subsidized rate.

Minutes for Meeting #8

Meeting started @ 11.00 am

The team evaluated the whole execution process with the following questions :
What went wrong?
- The video can't be played by the DVD player because of incompatibility of the video formats (we try 4 formats, .flv, .3gp, .mpeg, .mp4)
- The back up plan failed (madeline's laptop error)
- Insufficient goody bags (the participants more than expected (50) )
- The exercise's trainers are too fast
- Confusion of languages usage (between hokkien and mandarin) need to check the participants demographic (language)
- Language barrier (for some team members (Indra))

What is good?
- Participants more than we expected
- The food is good
- The distribution of food was quite efficient
- The skit is funny
- Good contingency plan ( execute another programs first while fixing the error)
- Good on-the-spot critical thinking ( Joshua went home to took his laptop)
- Participants enjoy the program
- Everyone happy

Overall:
THE GROUP IS GOOD!!

Punctuality and attendance at meetings

Hey all,

At our last meeting, one of the members was not punctual. This is not the first time this has occurred.

So for our next meeting, please ensure that you adhere to the time of the meeting.

Also, please check your schedules to make sure that our meetings do not clash with any of your other meetings.

One of the members had another meeting at the same time and failed to inform us that he/she would not be attending ours. In the end, we had to call half and hour into the meeting to ask where he/she is and it screwed up our meeting as that day, it was our presentation rehearsal.


SO! The moral of the story is, PLEASE be punctual and PLEASE attend the meetings!
