Your Preference for our First Anniversary...

[Darkangel]

Think pet still has some unsold items. IIRC, there're some items w/o buyers too. I'm willing to come out with another watch for auction during the dinner if it does happen

I'm sure some of us don't mind chipping in and sourcing for more items to sell for the purpose of charity

Since the anniversary is time sensitive and if not done by mid Jun it loses its significance, why don't we channel the funds to it first? I mean the forum will be here for long, and we're growing. I'm sure one day we'll grow big enough to contribute more than a meagre $2K plus for charity?

If the others dun disagree,I am ok.

if my quartz tag Formula 1 comes out of the restoration project in time, i will donate 1.

Sounds gd...

[Darkangel]

One very important principal consideration is the amount of funds that we can play around with. Think we have to firm this up before deciding on the concept and the venue.

I don't mean to rain on the parade, but what is comfortable for some of us may not be comfortable for others. Even for normal gatherings, it is hard to get good attendances.

Some may even be reluctant to pay and many come to this forum just for information.

One possible avenue for funds is from the charity auctions which we had earlier on. Think we've collected $2K plus already. The plan to do charity is a good one, but perhaps we can do this after the anniversary? We can make use of these funds first. During the function (dinner or buffet), we can hold more auctions for charity. If the attendance is good, the potential to collect more funds may be higher.

Comments, pls?

Agreed But we need more items haha

do we still have items available?

That's the big question haha...

Any bro here stays in condo? maybe can book the function room? definitely cheaper than the hotel's function room.... just my 2 cents worth...

[minusplus]

Will be very expensive if in hotel. Think will have to cater for the hotel restaurant food also. This will burst the budget.

Feel it's better to get a cheap, yet accessible venue. $$ would be better spent on food, door gifts and lucky draws
