Hey J1s!

Your new Treasurer here! I'm sure all of you have heard from your SLs about the $25 you'll need to bring to pay for the stuff and all (if you haven't, now you know! Bring it on the practice we're having before farewell). Well, in case all of you are wondering why you're paying so much for the farewell, here's a breakdown for all of you.

Firstly, $15 of the $25 goes into the payment for the mugs that we're giving to the seniors as a batch! Haha, the reason why it's $15 per j1 is because all the mugs are printed individually with the senior's name on their mug, and also because we have more seniors than juniors!

The remaining $10 goes into what is called the Batch Fund which is the unofficial fund that will be used for various unofficial events and birthday gifts! So this fund will be used to buy the birthday cards, and also to finance the other events like choir chalet! Part of this will also be used for the planning of the farewell, and I hope to have your understanding in this money-collecting matter =).

Of course, apart from this unofficial batch fund, we have the official choir fund! Currently, the choir fund has a healthy sum of money retained from last year, but in order to maintain it, I will also be collecting $5 from all of you in Week 2 of Term 3. This fund will be used for the printing of scores, and official events like Openhouse and CCA exhibition. This will be collected by your SLs in Week 2, and I hope all of you will cooperate with them. =)

Hopefully, this will not be too much for all of you, and do inform me if you think that there may be any problems with regards to the money being collected. Thank you all very much for being such great people, and let's all work towards being a cohesive excellent choir! =D

Regards,
Jianyi
