CBN as a Venue

I spoke to Pn Lee, the current headmistress at CBN and she said that using the school as a premise for the reunion should not be a problem if we clear the dates with her (in case they have something going on for the day). Sunday's no good for her because it's part of the old tradition of observing Sabbath. We are a Convent after all.

Please vote vote vote. Tell all your friends to vote as well!

Dates! Dates! Dates!

Okay guys. Based on my calender, tentative dates are

1) 29th April 2007 (Sunday)

2) 1st May 2007 (Tuesday but Public Holiday for Wesak and Labour Day)

3) 19th May 2007 (Saturday)

I'm leaning towards a 3.30pm-6.30pm slot, only because it will be cheaper to organise tea instead of a main meal, and so that it doesn't end too late for those with family obligations and little children.

The only reason why I'm picking these dates is that I will be on leave from early April to mid June for my CA exams, which gives me ample time to organise the event. I cannot promise time off later in the year as I'm going to be switching jobs and have no idea how busy or free I will be later. However, if these dates don't work for you guys, we'll have to try something else.

Will create a new poll for people to decide. The general consensus seems to be KL Towers on the comments but CBN on the polls so I will have to chase up both. I would love it if you could start giving feedback on attendance. I have a dedicated line for the CBN reunion so please, SMS only (since I don't take the phone with me everywhere). The number is 012 - 2227o02. If you could forward business cards of other CBN girls whom will be interested in coming, even better!

Take care everyone! God bless!

Crazy Busy

Sorry girls! I've been crazy busy with work (audit peak season and I'm a kuli - go figure!) I'm trying to get leave in the next few weeks to go to CBN and find out if it'll be possible to host it there and what sort of paperwork we'll need to do. I'm also compiling a list of caterers in case we decide to do it there. If you guys have any suggestions with regards to caterers, please e-mail me. Also, if you are able to go to CBN sooner, that would be great. Am currently waiting for feedback with regards to KL Towers but the general consensus I've heard is that it's a little pricy with so-so food. Any thoughts on that??

Possible venue?

Baizura (5P) has kindly been helping me out to source possible venues for the event. Using her contacts, she has managed to secure us a deal at the Menara KL function hall for RM60+ per head (assuming we get at least 150 people). We thought it was a nice cross of pretty place and nostalgia as we will be able to look down on our old school from the restaurant. Anyway, give us your thoughts on the idea. E-mail me or leave a comment at the bottom.

Have a good week guys!

Lets start the ball rolling

Hi everyone,

I've posted up 2 polls on the reunion - one on when we should have it and one on where we should have it. If you have noticed, I have only included months till September for the simple reason that I will not be around after that to organise. If there are those who want it done after September and are willing to organise, please let me know.

On a similar note, anyone who is up for helping me organise this is very welcome to pitch in. It's going to be an immense affair so I welcome any help I can get. Of the top of my head, I'm going to need help with

• Treasury - someone to monitor money coming in/going out. I can help with the actual accounting work (seeing how that's what I do for a living) but I don't have access to any online banking. Someone who is familiar with monitoring money coming in and out would be very welcome to help out.
• Logistics - someone to help me sort out correspondence, bookings and organising caterers, possible decorations, guestlist etc. It would be great if you maintain a large group of ex-CBN friends so that we can get the word out. Actually wouldn't mind 2-3 people in this capacity
• Point-Of-Contact (PoC) - similar to those in Logistics but specialising in getting the word out for details which will be important closer to the date. Again, it would be great if you have a strong network of ex-CBN friends. Am looking for about 5 people who have access to about 20 different CBN girls each (targeting a reach of 100 people minimum). If you don't have access to 20 different girls, its not a problem. Enthusiastic volunteers always welcome!

Leave me a comment on this message if you are up for it. Alternatively, e-mail me. I will forward you my mobile number for easy reach.

Take care everyone! Have a good week!

Testing testing 1,2,3

Hi everyone. Sorry for being out of touch for so long but I've been crazy busy with work. I've set up this website to help with the planning of our 10 year reunion. My plan is to have it somewhere in March/April unless anyone else has other suggestions. From time to time, I will be updating the website with regards to locations and budgets and dates and all that. Could you spread the word about the website.

Oh yes. If you want to post on this website as well, drop me an e-mail and I'll add you as a guest writer.

Take care everyone. Happy New Year!
