Welcome CoWs!!

Outreach planning in progress!!

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Dear CoWs!
Hey just wanna thank you all for coming down on Saturday to plan for our cell outreach event. Even though there are still many things to tie up, thing's are looking pretty good! Good job on both the games team and the publicity team; there may still be many things to work on, but at least things are building up!

For the games team, now that we have our rough story out, it's time for us to set up our stations, the manpower, their lines, and how we can twist the story to our liking =)

For the publicity team, its time for you to plan out how each week's publicity will turn out, when to get our posters and cards, video and etc. Ryan would be helping us out on Saturday evening for some shots ^^V

For both groups, I will need to meet up with each of your team leaders (Jessica and Bernice) so get back to me as soon as you can! Isaac, join us in the meetings if possible. For the rest, remember to keep the outreach event in prayer and on your part also think of how you can help your leaders in their job!

Ok that's all, have a great week and I'll see you guys on Saturday evening! ^^V

So here goes,
TIMELINE (PLEASE NOTE: this is subjected to changes!)

PUBLICITY (Publicity+logistics comm)

Week 1: Publicity-done by 19th Feb, make an announcement abt our outreach( time,date,venue....)

Week 2: Posters,postcards or possibly video-> 26th Feb
Collate the number of ppl coming, get them to get into their groups of 3,4,5

Week 3: 5 Mar--do a skit???

Week 4: 12 Mar-finalise for publicity

Week 1: Rough outline of the games

Week 2: 19 Feb-26 Feb Finalise games+ Logistics list out

Week 3: 5 Mar-Games Trial+Buy logistics

Week 4: 12 Mar - Prepare door gift+Food catering

OKAY! so this is the timeline, below is the flow of the programme

4.30pm
AT THE BOOTH
1.Registration
2.Standby list of ppl without grps so that ppl with small grps about 2/3 ppl can form bigger groups with 4/5 ppl
3.CSI package( Consists of evidence sheet-probably with sample questions for interrogating suspects...+Map of church with stations marked on it+Pencil+ Clip board)-( 1 set per grp?)

5.00pm
AT THE SANTUARY
1. Doing a briefing
-Check if they have everything they need
-tell them their objective of being here
-give them the senario...( the victim's family is desperate to know the details of how their loved one died)
-instruct how the investigation team move to their respective area A/B to visit the stations there
-show CCTV footage of the loved one last seen or died or i dont know....hahah
-Suspects and witness photos
-tell them what they need to investigate at the end: Who killed him/her and why?
-Switch of areas A/B at a fixed time( about 6.15pm)
2. Disperse them

VENUE A/B not decided!

5.30pm
1. BUFFER TIME: 5 min per station x 6 stations =30 min
2.TIME FOR INTERROGATING: 10 min per station x 6 stations = 60 min


7pm-BACK FOR DINNER at the common area outside library

8pm TIME TO PRESENT YOUR SUSPECTED CRIMINAL
1. 2 min per grp presentation x appox. 15 grps = 30 min

8.30pm -9pm
1. show them the real killer
2. Talk by someone...( not confirmed)

PLUS, this is the overview of the games section:
there will be stations of the crime scene, forensic lab,house, police station and blah blah
so ppl are like the "policeman" / CSI crime investigators, they have to ask these suspects or look at evidences to decipher who is the real murderer!!!!!MYSTERIOUS RIGHT???ahahah

ookok anyway,after much much discussion, we still need all your valuable inputs:

1. PLS COME OUT WITH A STORYLINE********, in simple terms, PLS PASS WENSLEY YOUR ESSAY titled MURDER hahah ( if you do not get what i mean, pls call me)

Deadline by: 19 Feb

Any difficulties: HELPLINE: Wensley or Amos or ME

Any difficulties in handing up: go to "ham-some" WENSLEY!

hahah Some examples of a storyline in pt form:

Suicide BY AMOS:

-suicide case
-having a bunch of bully friends
-insulted due to his size
-People bad mouth him
-has a girlfriend who cheated on him because he had money
-was horrible at sports
-lead to his breakdown
-jump down the HDB

a storyline could be like that... but we need you to include characters specifically: so like theres mother,father,uncle, best friend,blah blah PLUS its A MURDER STORY, elaborate on the main pts and not how gruesomely he/she died k?

Guys, its a DEADline so if you dont hand it to Wensley....hhaha i dk what will happen to you, i repeat DEADline!!!!

Rest well over the week,cause we need you strong and healthy to make this a success!We will be meeting you guys often so about the exact details, it will be further discuss with you when we see you!
hahahah ANY questions, pls clarify:D:D:D:DThanks!!!!

P.S theres synthesis this coming week! pls do come, starts at 7.30pm sharp:D

To God be the glory,

Cheers,
Valerie
