Recap of yesterday's meeting

Last night we had a short meeting to finalise ideas about the Library Club. (Thanks to everyone who braved the heavy rain and made it over!) We decided that we would go ahead with the ideas we came up with during the previous two meetings. Added onto this, we're planning on asking a teacher at Kinbu to be the patron of the club. This way, the club can be run without Databank needing to be there at all times. We can give them the guidelines and they can run with it. We might want to check in every now and again and provide the occasional speaker for example, but for the most part the day to day running of the Library Club will be up to Kinbu.

Senyo Tetteh, the architect we're working with on the Library refurbishing project has informed us that once we get started, the work will take 5 weeks to complete. This means that we will be looking at raising as much as we can until the end of July (instead of June) so it'll be good to go by the start of term in September. We really do have to get this started, so if you don't have a sponsorship letter you can pass by Databank and we'll get one to you. Alternatively if you let me know by 2pm on Friday, I can bring some along to the Mini Seminar.

During the meeting it came to light that not everyone is clear on the plans for fundraising. We've decided that that all mentors in all teams (i.e. Clean Up, Library and Support) will work together to raise funds. We have the mentees involved as well so it's a big team effort - it needs to be if we're to raise the whole GH¢32,000!


Other Notes:
Tomorrow is an important date for two reasons. Three, actually. First, the FIFA World Cup is starting, whooo! As excited we all are about this, lets not forget about two other things. One is that our Appraisal Forms are due, and the other is that we're having a Mini Seminar. If you've not handed in your Forms yet and you can't make it to the seminar, please try to bring them over to Databank sometime during the day.


Go Black Stars!!
