Chinese New Year - Friendship Day Sales

On the 26th and 27th of February 2015 (Thursday and Friday), the Leo Club of Wesley Methodist School held their Chinese New Year – Friendship Day Sales during lower secondary and upper secondary break and lunch. The organising committee consisted of five Leo members, who were Leo Goh Wei Chen as the organising chairperson, Leo Lim You Xin as the assistant organising chairperson, and also three committee members including Leo Wong Swee Yan, Leo Chay Jian Shen and Leo Phoebe Cherng Fei Min. The objectives of this project were to raise the enthusiasm of students for the Chinese New Year occasion and to appreciate one another as each other's friend, as well as to raise funds for the club's future activities. Food and items such as messages in ang paos, marshmallows dipped in chocolate, Ribena Sprite and brownies with ice cream were sold.

Preparations started back during the last December holidays where we had to plan and map out what was to be sold and how it was to be sold. After initial plans, we then wrote a proposal to be approved by the school Principal, Madam Chia Loy Tian. As soon as the proposal was approved we were only allowed to start preparing for the sale, such as preparing messages forms, supplying food, buying ingredients, drawing posters and preparing for the promotional sketch and speech. Leo members were briefed about their duties during the sales a day before the event.

On the day of the sales, the brownies and ice cream were stored in the canteen refrigerator with the canteen staff's approval to ensure the brownies' texture and to prevent the ice cream from melting. Six Leo members were given permission to leave class early to make the necessary preparation for the sale during each shift. 2 Leo members were assigned to mix the Ribena and Sprite at the set ratio, while another 3 were told to prepare the brownies, without the ice cream and put the marshmallows into a cup without the chocolate syrup. This was to prevent the ice cream from melting too fast before anyone buys it. The food were well prepared before students came for their respective break and lunch. The Ribena Sprite drink sold very well and received a lot of attention from students, while the marshmallows and brownies did not stand out too well compared to the Ribena Sprite drink.

The Leo members started cleaning up our work stations ten minutes before break and lunch ended. The tables were cleared of everything and were wiped clean. All wastage was disposed of properly. The cleanup took a longer time than expected as we had many utensils to be organised but were mostly on time for assembly.

After the two days of sales, we managed to sell out all of the Ribena Sprite drink with some leftovers from the marshmallows and brownies. The Leo members' effort in promoting the food and boosting the sales were greatly appreciated. We were satisfied with what was sold.
