Dialysis Chapter: Fundraising group first meeting

First fundraising group meeting

This Tuesday fundraising group had a meeting to discuss about the first activity to raise fund. We thought of the activity that would be profitable and that we can implement as soon as possible. Then we came out with “breakfast delivery” which is basically delivering and selling out some breakfast-like food. We thought that it would work out well because many students and teachers do not eat breakfast when they are really busy in the morning. We decided the tentative date at October 3. All the profits raised will be kept for the financial support for the dialysis patients.

This time, I had to lead the group. I started up with listing up the possible activities that we decided on last GIN meeting and brought out some suggestions. Since it was my first time to actually lead the entire group, I had some difficulties at first with gathering attentions of every member. However after some discussions about choosing the fundraising activity, I was able to lead the discussion. Also because president (Jennifer :)) of the club helped out some points that I was missing, I was able to gain some confidence and remove the shyness that I first had.

           When I chose to join the fundraising group, I thought it would just be fun to raise an activity and actually go for it. Later, however, I thought that this fundraising activity should not base on whether it is fun or not. Although the activity may be little bit difficult, we all need to work hard because we are raising funds not for us but for the patients. Through planning on which activities to start on, I really wanted to do an activity that would be profitable so that our GIN group can financially support for the dialysis patients as soon as possible. I hope this fundraising activity goes on well.
