Decoration shopping and making

Thursday the 6th of October Kylie, Koyal, Emily and Haylee went shopping for decorations for the themed dinner. We got streamers, balloons, bow ties for the night and some other goodies to put in the table goodie bags.
On Tuesday 11th of October Haylee, Kylie, Emily and Koyal were in class and we started making up the table decorations. We made our own blossom to put on the tables. These took us a few hours to complete.

Carnival Dinner

Today we came up with the theme for our dinner which we are hosting on the 12th of September. We chose a carnival theme because we thought it would be fun and entertaining for the delegates. We brainstormed ideas for the carnival dinner including how to advertise it, how to decorate the restaurant and some entertainment ideas. As the menu has been set by the restaurant, we don't need to worry about this and it has had no influence on our choice of theme. 

All group members were present at this meeting, apart from Ariana who was absent due to illness. We will update her on the progress we have made today at our next meeting which will hopefully be on the 23rd.

Getting the ball rolling

Today we met as a group after class. We reviewed our notes from the last meeting and allowcated specific jobs to each group member. Unfortunatley Emily was absent due to illness but has been updated with all information covered in the meeting and knows of her jobs she must complete. We also set a deadline to contact the client with a budget and program proposal. We will be meeting again tomorrow to start discussing plans for the themed dinner.
