'Hope For Kids' - Planning the Fundraiser

The 'Hope For Kids' CAS group met again on the 27th of October 2011 to further plan the fashion show fundraiser. In this session, I worked with two others in the CAS group to desgin our sample poster promoting clothing desgin competitions. We then discussed with the rest of the group about the venue, cost and other formal details of the event. We brainstormed possible venues, and came up with Cinnamon Grand Hotel, Taj Samdura Hotel, Park Street Muse Restaurant etc. Our CAS leader Upandha offered to look up the prices of these venues, which will contribute in the decision making process.

We also planned some activities for us to do at the hospital, since we were planning on visiting it the week after. We came up with several ideas, such as making play dough out of flour, oil and food colouring and making play dough animals with them, watching cartoons with them, playing childrens' games such as duck duck goose etc. We decided to do the play dough idea the coming week and think more about what to do the following week.
