MED RAG FLOAT CONSTRUCTION - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

MED RAG FLOAT CONTRUCTION - HAPPENING EVERY DAY!
Time: 9am onwards
Venue: MD11 Basement Carpark (behind Anatomy Department, inside the car park - see picture below)


I went down today to see a most lively lot planning and plotting and pushing big heavy tables into the basement car park of MD11.


11.30am: Mu Liang, Pei Xuan, Aloy, Joanna, Zhen Chang are hard at work, moving tables to the basement. Where are the rest of them?


The girls came to help out too! The materials design team.


Xunqi, hard at work.

Work seems off to a promising start, but let's not let it fizzle out.. Keep coming and putting your stake into this project!
Don't leave these guys to labour alone! We need your help!

Here are some serving suggestions:
- bring your OG/tutorial group/friends along!
- bring your juniors along, so they can come and meet new friends, and their seniors-to-be and ask you all the kancheong questions they have about medical school.. THE GUYS HAVE DISRUPTED ALREADY ANYWAY!
- ask your classmates who have been hiding at home to come do something meaningful with the rest of the medical faculty
- plan some afternoon games after a hard day's work, eg. soccer, captain's ball, like what we did when we were M1s
- have makan together!

I now leave you with a quote from one of my most inspirational speakers to think about.

"Come on.. are you with me?" - Professor Gopalakrishnakone



Med Rag 07

MEDICINE RAG FLOAT CONSTRUCTION BEGINS - YOUR HELP NEEDED!

Dear Friends,

Med Rag Float Construction begins this Tuesday and we will be working tirelessly through the week (and weeks to come) to build the basic float construction, ready for the new M1s to take over to complete the finishing touches.
This will be, of course, impossible without your help.

So please try to avail yourself to come down if you are free and have no prior plans.

MED RAG FLOAT CONTRUCTION - PHASE 1
Starts Tuesday, 26 June onwards
Time: 9am till 6pm or later
Venue: MD11 Basement Carpark (behind Anatomy Department)

Bring your friends/tutorial group mates/OG mates to come along to help in this good cause. It'll be a fun time to work out a good sweat and spend time with you dear friends.

FUNDING ISSUES
As Marketing Heads, Huijin and I have been tasked to seek funding and sponsorship from corporate donors and individuals. However, response so far has been very bleak.

We are hence appealing to you guys for donations of cash or any kind. If you have any amount of money that you or your parents feel like donating to this cause, please feel free to contact Huijin or myself. Honestly, even loose change can be very handy to us now, and I appreciate any and every small contribution that you guys are going to make.

For donations in kind, I'm sure you have read the email Joanna had sent out. Please help us by bringing scrap/recycled materials and tools to aid us in the construction of the float.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT RAG AIMS TO BOND US ALL TOGETHER AND IN THE PROCESS, RAISE SOME SERIOUS SUM OF MONEY FOR CHARITY. IT'S STUPID TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ALL THESE FUNDING ISSUES (especially with the new restrictions imposed on us) BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE THAT ALL OF US WILL BAND TOGETHER TO PUT FORTH A GREAT RAG PERFORMANCE THIS YERA 2007, AND BRING BACK THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY TO OUR MEDICAL SCHOOL, SHOWING THE REST THAT WE ARE CERTAINLY THE BEST AT WHAT WE DO..

Jonk,
on behalf of MedRag 07.
