promotions

So my main concern was actually the turn out of people at the Toastmasters meeting. Which turned out to be around 40+. This might look like a measly number but it is more than my expected 5 people. My dad told me it's OKAY if only 10 people come; the show must still go on. Yes, I told myself to keep my expectations super low so that I would not disappoint myself in any way. So ultimately, we only had 1 week to do the promotions and when faizal said to do intensive promotion, I exploited all kinds of promotions in this college that i can think of.

1. print and put up posters at bulletin boards
2. write letters to every club and society - this of which at first i thought it had to be in memo form and then faizal said it had to be in letter form with all the formalities. it was already 6pm so i redid it. shafiq came all the way to college just to read through if it's okay and gave me the student council letterheads. i had to print it at the library of where the printer got jammed and much paper was wasted since it was not properly printed according to the letterhead. Finally after 7pm managed to get it done and faizal who had to wait finally got to sign it and distribute to the other clubs and societies.
   
3. send emails to every class of every batch - from the first to the final batch. of which none came:(
   
4. post up the invite on the college website - of which we had to write a letter asking for permission, and eventhough we did, for some reason, it turned out that it was never put up. Do not know why~
5. designed, printed and personally delivered and explained to the deans and professors and lecturers - which i was soo scared about doing it myself and having to meet them and explaining what toastmasters really is about and that it is not some kind of cooking club
   
6. Announced at assembly - this, i had to do a whole performance acting out the difference between an inaudible speaker and a honed speaker of which they all started whooting and clapping so many times throughout my two-minute persuasive speech. It was funny. But I think this was the best because it convinced the new intake~ and they were the ones who made up most of the audience anyways. And they were glad they came:)

I am not posting this up just to show off whatsoever. But to show that there are many different ways we can achieve what we want.

God puts a brick wall infront of you not to stop you from achieveing your dreams. But to know how badly you want to accomplish it.
