Destination ’12

Hi all,

we are back from our hiatus now that the final exams are over (phew)! Hope everyone did well and congratulations on surviving another semester. Well done~

For the first post-exams post, we will be making a very important announcement.

After months of researching and liaising and voting, we have finally decided on the project that Operation Orion will be undertaking in December 2012.

The place we will be going is…

Chiang Mai, Thailand!

The project we will be doing is…

Building a chicken farm!

Basically, we will be going back to Chiang Mai and help build a chicken farm there. We are really pleased to work with the Thai Youth Community Foundation again and hope that our partnership will be further strengthened through this project.

Below are some pictures of the beautiful Chiang Mai 🙂

Now that we have decided on what project we will be embarking on, keep an eye out for our fundraising activities and more updates!

Fundraising update!

This year Operation Orion 2012 is honored to have Jothi and Audie to lead the Fundraising team. Both have the expertise in Fundraising, especially Audie who is in the Fundraising Sub-Comm last year.

Both of them met up several times during this semester to discuss ways to Fund-raise this year Operation Orion 2012. They have formulated a long list of methods to Fund-raise this time round, with novel ideas including the making friendship bands, printing of badges and the Pledge-Your-Love(PYL) scratch card.

Apart from the above ideas, we will also be bringing back the famous “Gong-cha” milk tea to sell at our booth. Adding to the list of items will be “Lao Ban Tau Huey”, “Chewy Jr.” and “Choco Pack”. If you are sick of the school food, look out for our booth for these highly sought after gourmet.

Lastly, a collective effort between Publicity and Fundraising Comm will see a brand new design for our Operation Orion T-shirt! We are planning to sell our Tee at the booth. So if you are not sure what to wear to school, come and buy our Tee and be part of our big family!

Despite all these ideas being tentative, we are all hopeful and looking forward to bring all these to you.

Stay tune for more updates on Operation Orion 2012! Next week we will be updating you on our confirmed OCIP destination!

Main comm meeting #3

This week, the main committee had our 3rd meeting of the year. There was a lot of discussion and updates, and not to mention some random funny moments 🙂

In the meeting, we narrowed down the choices for the OCIP trip in December. We will be deciding on our destination very soon, so look out for it:)

Also, the fundraising committee has been actively planning lots of fundraising events for next semester, in particular the products for sale at our booth. There will be a wide variety of fundraising items, so do drop by at our booth sales next sem and check it out!

Finally, works to build our very own Orion Alumni network has finally started. We look forward to the Network being established so as to keep the Orion bond strong.

All in all, a lot were discussed during the meeting, and we are actively planning many activities for next sem, so please support us in our events!

The Orion T-shirt Project 2012!

Hi everyone!

The project to come up with Operation Orion 2012 T-shirt is now underway! We are brainstorming for ideas for the new shirt, and here are some that we have thought up:

 

1) The Simple Shirt

Just the words “OPERATION ORION” in front and nothing else. We can have fun mixing and matching colors like this:

 

What colour combination/ font do you think will be good?

 

2) Graphic tee-style

More designing work involved. Maybe something like last year’s t-shirt 🙂

 

 

What kind of design would you like to see?

 

3) Others

We are open to other ideas! Feel free to comment on our facebook page!
