anyways, just thought i would update and let oyu know what's going on.

decoration

Hey guys!
i found some ideas on the internet today regarding decoration.....
so here they are...

Cut snowflakes from white paper and hang them on the walls (nicola and bianca said that they would do 50 snowflakes)!

Tie a red ribbon around a tall, slim drinking glass. Fill the glass with candy canes and display on a shelf or side table. ( each one per table, filled with little chocolates and candy canes)

Wrap indoor Christmas lights around a railing or banister. Secure periodically with tape. Be careful to tape down the electrical cord so that no one trips over it. (walkway for the modeling contest, with the “snow”)

Decorate with mittens or gloves(we could buy those cheap ones and put table #’s on them)


Purchase small bells from your craft store. Tie each bell to a piece of ribbon between 6" and 18" in length. Gather all of the ribbons together and knot together at the top. Drape the bells over a door knob so that they ring when someone enters or exits. ( I don’t know what were using this one for..) lol.

November 22nd meeting

Yesterday (sorry i didn't get a chance to post yesterday) we had our meeting... here's the minutes

Simon and Jordan discussed how the advertising to the community and whether or not "cows and rice" would work. We are still going to keep on going with it
We need to:

• educate our school community about it
• posters, class to class, solid group of people who are interested in "selling" this to the outside sommunity

• Talk to the community outside
• people are going to want to donate because it is a Thirdworld country
• for bottle drives, carhwashes, and going to different businesses we are going to need to know what we are going to say... yes

Anyways guys that was yestrday's meeting.

The snowball is 14 DAYS AWAY... make sure all of student council (who can make it) buy their tickets ASAP, i need numbers
anyways committees need to meet on monday so that we can have everything all finished up
Alisha and I are going to finish buying all of the decorations this weekend... decoarting committee is meeting today... we might have to change it to monday.
Paul and Kevin are selling tickets today, and jordan and simon are on monday.
ttyl guys

Catering

Alright guys so i finally got in touch with Louise
So here is the dealio

• They are providing the cutlery and plates, as well as the banquet buffet tables

• For food we are having: lasagna (veggie and meat), salads, and bread

• Here is problem number one: they aren't providing drinks, however, i think thsi will work to our benefit, because they will leave after dinner is finished, and take everything with them

• We can just make punch, i have 2 punch bowls, and ask if mrs stensaker could watch them for us, and make that happpen

• Dessert= us and ginger bread men. we need to buy the icing for them, etc.
• 6:30= dinner time. They will be out the here by 8:00
• She said that she would be there @ 6, and they would prepare the salads, but everything else would be ready when they got here.
• She is going to call me again on December 6th, and we'll go through eveyrhting for that night..

Anyways guys, i just thought i would let you know :)
We might want to add more tickets as well because today we sold 7 tickets, and a bunch of people are bringing more money for tomrrow. just a reminder that jillian and jennifer are selling tickets tomrrow in the hallway at lunch. We will have a psoter for you as well... There will also be a cash box!! lol, i know we had problems with that today.
I am thining 90 ppl, and then we'll cover the staff so they can eat free because they are giving their time to us... so yes pelase get back to me

ok, so i was running through what we have put together, and everything is feeling a little disorganzied...
What we need to do:
Decorating committee-> come up with an overall plan of how the set up will be, what type o f tables we will be using (remember we want 8 to a table), where are the table cloths coming from, centre pieces, picture wall, lights (my family has lots of icicle lights, the white ones, we can use), candles, trees, bench, etc
Entertainment committee-> definite scheadule of what games are being done, do we want to use the reindeer game that mrs karsgaards husbadn will do for us (guess who is who when they are morphed to look like a reindeer), definite scheadule, etc
Advertisement/ music committee-> music needs to compiled, that means for christmas songs and dancing music at the end (im thinking we may need some slog songs... maybe?), it is called the Snow Ball, so all the posters need to be labeled that way with $14 and two non perishable items bolded that people know they HAVE to have that stuff... etc

Chaperons: Mr Kennedy, Ms Ng (would you like to bring jamie?), Mrs Karsgaard (mr k too?), anyone else.. mrs stensaker?

Basically we need to have a deifinite scheadule written up too
Thursday:
lunch: decorating tree contest (if we don't get fake trees then we'll do the real ones, and the contest will be in the gym.. judges will be picked ASAP
last block: all people who don't have classes will be called to the gym to set up and start decorating
lights need to be set up, tables, candles, trees from the contest, table clothes, picture wall, "snow", etc
We need to be finished setting up by 4:30 @ the latest, so people have time to get home and get ready, because they need to be back by 5:30ish.
6:00: Doors open, tickets need to be collected, and people can seat themselves. There will be music on, etc.
once everyone is there, then we can do one or two games opening the night up
Dinner is served, and people will go in order, etc
6:30 to 7:30= dinner being eaten
during this time maybe paul can entertain every once in a while?
7:30: Then it will be the ginger bread men decorating thing... every one will get one ginger bread man and they have to decorate it. each table will pick their best one to represent them, and then they will be judged at the front
8:00: more games.. whatever entertainment has planned... best dressed couple, individual, etc...
9:00ish: dancing
10: finished.. and clean up begins... the catering company will clean up all the plates, cups, cutlery, etc when they leave.
