Attended many times of thanksgiving but this is the first (and last time?!) I’m in the committee.
The committee met up two weeks before the event.
Thank God all of them were quite on, all turned up except one.
We brainstormed the theme, the programs, the logistics, the food, what to be done, who in-charge of what etc.
As it was the last weekend before the event, we had to rush the invitation card so one of the committee members, Geeky CN spent that night to design the card and the next day printed with the courtesy of another worker.
I must admit Geeky CN is fast!
He designed fast, sent fast and amended fast!
The cards printed = The start of “nightmare”
There were 100 x 2 (two sides) to be cut and paste.
As the rest couldn’t make it, Geeky JL and I met up and spent hours on “factory line” work where we cut and cut and cut and CUT and paste and paste and paste and PASTE!
Geeky JL’s husband came to lend a hand too. In that few hours, we only managed to settle the invitation cards for workers for Sat services so we brought the rest home.
Even later that Sat, Geeky ZS and Geeky JL and I met up again to finish up the outstanding cards.
During that two weeks, every committee members take charge of their own “to-do list” and updated each other via whatsapp chatroom.
Few days before the actual event, a few of us met up for another “factory line” work - to pack the door gifts for the workers.
As for me, I met up with Pst to finalize the different awards’ nominees and winners. After which brainstormed the name of the awards and then off to settle the trophies and gifts.
Set aside a day to go Queensway to check out then ordered the trophies. And another day to Daiso to get the stands.
Got to also look into other logistics as I was “arrowed” to be the chairperson. -_-
I also met up to pass the recorded videos (over the last weekend) to another worker who helped to compile so to show on the actual day.
Last few nights to the event, I spent hours doing up powerpoint - photos of workers and photos for flashback 2011.
The day before the event, with the help of different workers, went to pick up the trophies before we drove and carried down the packs and packs and packs of gifts to the place where our event will be held.
to be continued...
