    And so..
    On the 24th,
    Mr.Raymond chaired the meeting and he went through all the schools that showed
    interested for our project.
    He said it was encouraging to see that we cld get like 6000 ppl in a week,
    and emphasized on how to capture schools who were close to the route
    to participate. He also emphasized how we can make the route more prominent,
    making it more visual, so people see it as one big picture.

    We went through the t-shirt designs, the press conference is in the same week
    as the trial run which would be at ite simei.
    and the youth exco actually took pictures and did a mini trial run
    today!!

    EK!! and the youth exco downstairs at the lift lobby.

    #1 Them next to the library!

    #2 Them near a field,



    Waiting patiently at the traffic light for..



    .. #3 Them to pull this off! LOL
    Woooo!!
    It took approx about 12 seconds.
    Imagine how people thought we were crazy!



    and after our hard work all of us headed back to the office.
    We went through the pictures.
    Manpower also reminded the youth exco about their plan for more recruitment next week.
    So if you're free, pleeeease go and get in touch with Lydia or Moon yah?



    Have a good day now! =)

    Which do you prefer?
    Volleyball
    Soccer
    Marathon


    [See Result]
    M&D department wants to know which would be a better idea
    to promote Connectsg. Beach Volleyball? Having Soccer Matches? Or having a Marathon
    at the 43km Route itself?
    All of these ideas would definitely "Connect" people, mainly youths together
    and it would grab their attention!
    Do Let Us Know Your Views!.
