STREET SALES :D :D :D
Today's street sales was fun :)
From the general point of view: Grace, Belle and Janessa went to set up the booth first, then joined by De Jun, then Yi Jing and me and Max. We managed to get a $50 donation from someone so kind and helpful.
From the personal point of view: Then I decided to wear the strawberry costume and went with Yi Jing to do street sales :) One very kind couple donated $12 plus at one go and the costume drew lots of attention (as was aimed). People stare, people point and people grab it. At one point there was even one lady who came up to donate to us because of the strawberry costume. Then Yi Jing and I walked back to the MRT station, to find De Jun and Janessa singing and Belle and Grace and Max working hard :)
From the general point of view again: Then the rest of those who were supposed to come today (and not supposed to come today) came and we sent them on street sales :)
From the personal point of view again: SHHHHHHHH. NO ONE WILL KNOW. EXCEPT US.
Then it became six and all of us split up the goods and went home! I carried the money home and now my arms feel like I had swum 12 laps in the swimming pool. And I have that fuzzy feeling when I am going to sleep or very tired. But still it was fun!
Next street sales, would be in August. So let's study hard for blocks everyone! (Although if you feel free you can arrange a comm outing or something, then do some more street sales. And get to know one other better.) And to promote sales try selling in school or to your classmates. They work. SELL SELL SELL and hand the money IMMEDIATELY into the bag once you get it. If you need merchandise to sell TAG now please.
Thank you so much everyone who put in so much effort this week and for the past few weeks!
:D
oh and a note to hwachers and guys in general: DO NOT COMPLAIN that girls have an advantage. I know a guy volunteer for our group who managed to get $70 in 4 hours. TAKE HEART, and just keep going for sales.

Coming Up
I sent this through email.
Hello all,
Street sales this week! We'll be setting up a booth in Orchard Road, near Wisma Atria and ION Orchard. It's a purely OT streets sales thing this week! Since school ends at 2.05 for most of us lets aim to set up the booth and start selling by 3.15p.m. We'll end street sales around 6, maybe 6.30 if sales are so good and people wont stop buying haha.
Thanks to Amanda, Janessa, Belle, Melissa and Grace the china factory has been in action. We have managed to produce a few hundred more pompoms. For street sales we will be selling pompoms, cards and the rest of the felt food.
Thanks to Deborah's family we now have COSTUMES as our mascots. They are: a giant donut, a massive muffin and a super-big strawberry. They will be there for aesthetic appeal and as a form of visual concept, so that people will be able to identify us easier and we will attract attention.
And thanks to Marcus, De Jun will be busking in the streets for us:) Maybe Janessa too. Hopefully it will attract attention and generate more income.
Right now those going on Monday are: Janessa, Yue Qi, Yi Jing, Amanda, Melissa, Deborah, Zheng Xuan, De Jun and Hyo Lim. If anyone else is free (or at least feeling free) and willing to go, please come and support!
Let's separate the 'things to bring' list:
Amanda- Table
Yue Qi, Melissa, Janessa- pompoms and cards
Deborah and Yi Jing- costumes
Hyo Lim- Collection bags, certificates, stickers.
Any objections please tell me!
Thank you to all the wonderful hardworking people.

I got around to doing up what Grace told me to - designing the badges ^^

Nice right?
I hope so, I think it's pretty sellable ;)
I was thinking it'd be good to actually package them like in 3s or 4s and sell them at around 5 bucks. Pretty cool!
My friend said it we wrap it in nice paper or plastic and tie a ribbon she'll buy, and I think she speaks for all of mankind, people <333 packaging!
Deborah doesn't believe me.
Any oh how... XOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXXO.
Love,
Janessa!!

Hey guys,
I'll bring my spongebob cardz, chelz ;)
Anyway, I got about 4 volunteers from Singapore Poly who need like 8 CIP hours for a modular requirement so yeah, I told one fo them to email their details to our gmail!
One thing I'm worrying about is whether we're authorised to sign some form of theirs?
Grrrr.
Get back ASAP :(
Love love,
Janessa!
(no title)
HAHA I CAN'T BELIEVE MYSELF. I thought there was only one post because I couldn't see the scroll bar at the side and I was thinking okay I should probably post something since there's only one pathetic post. Then I come here to find that HAHA THERE ARE 6 POSTS SO FAR. Which is still quite sad, but still! Today I learnt that our blog has a scroll bar at the side so I should probably try scrolling down to find posts.
Okay I have nothing to say! Except SOMEONE BRING CARDS THE NEXT TIME WE HAVE A YFC MEETING PLEASE THANK YOU :D Mine got confiscated ._.
CHELSEA :)

Chocolate Charity so far
For people who don't really know what is / has been going on...
Our street sales are going on now. We started in week 4 of the school holidays, and currently we have slots for this Sunday 5th July and next Sunday 12th July, but we will be extending soon. The first shift on each day with street sales is from 9am to 1pm, and the second shift from 2pm to 5pm. We are selling cards, (Ongbak is collecting the cards tonight), felt food- chocolate donuts, strawberries-, and little keychain pompoms of various colours! Meeting point of street sales is City Hall MRT Station.
Cards (2 designs)- $2 each
Chocolate donuts- $3 each
Strawberries- $2 each
Pompoms- $2 each
Please email us at chocolatecauses@gmail .com if you want to volunteer for street sales or purchase these items to help our cause! OT can volunteer too:)
A huge thank you to all of you who have put in so much effort.
Belle, Janessa, Amanda, Chelsea, Deborah, Aurelia, Shiao Kee, Yue Qi, Yi Jing, Wei Ting, Xin Tong, Grace, Jie Hui and others (sorry if you are not mentioned) for helping with the sewing or admin work or offering their places for group meetings.
Ongbak for running around contacting the card person and settling the shirts and doing loads of saikang.
Weasel for designing the logo and cards and the shirt.
ZX just reminded me: Ryo for doing proposals and telling us how to go about doing them and such.
Janessa, Yi Jing, Shiao Kee, Yue Qi, Chelsea, Ongbak, Weasel, Marcus for coming down for a lot of shifts for the street sales, going for the street sales themselves and helping out in the pompom making china factory.
And of course the main OT for doing progress reports, the discussions, and other saikang that we didn't tell the rest of you about :)
Looking back, I think some of us have worked really really hard.
And sorry to those whom we owe money! We will be getting access to the $1600 funding soon.
If I missed any of you out, please say on the tagboard:)
Oh and I think we need to change our facebook group name. I think there has been confusion as to what our group name is, partly due to the logo. Our group name is CHOCOLATE CHARITY.
Reminder: Ask around to all your friends and friends' friends who are musically talented or skilled, and get them to perform. The more the merrier!
Jia you to all who are stressed out, busy at work (and yet helping out for yfc) or sick.
And of course, all the best to Yi Jing, Janessa, Wei Ting and Christie for the street sales tomorrow.
Thank you!
Oh and meanwhile, think of a theme + name for our concert too. It can be indirectly related to our choclate theme.
Also, we need photos! Does anyone want to volunteer to take pictures of merchandise? Or you could be the official photographer or something :D
tagtagtag.

In general
Hey everyone,
I added the cbox and added names of our OT @ e side.
I was thinking of classifying according to committee but I'm tired and lazy to find out, so TOO BAD!
Hahahahah!
I found out the preview was screwed (luckily) so I actly got scared but it turned out pretty in e end.
Oh and I added our email into the About Us section (I made it sound so professional okay by naming the section that)
All in all, it looks a lot greater now.
I removed the whole 'darlinks' section (HEH)!
Just start tagging and our blog will be raring to go!
(With more posts from you guys, of course)
In case anyone is wondering, the username for the cbox account is cocoaloco, pw is the same as the gmail.
I'll proceed to add people as writers of this blog now.
Enjoy!
Pictures up soon or smtg.
Xoxoxo (Love),
Janessa
