Updates

First of all, thank you to all of you who helped out in the recent car wash! Every effort counts =)


3 Things You could do to ensure the Successful Publication of Convo Mag
1. Be present on the 3rd/4th week on sem 8 (when we gotta be in imu) and make an effort to BE THERE when notified about a white-coat photo session

2. Be present on the 3rd/4th week on sem 8 (when we gotta be in imu) and vote for B105 Oscar Awards that will be conducted when B105 meet as a class.

3. Actively seek out for sponsorships (especially those under the 'Sponsorship' committee)




Updates on the Printers of Convo Mag
Malacca: digital printing, 'staple (??) bound' <--this is what she offered me when I asked for 'sewn-binding' (ahe said that the staples won't be seen) : RM 85 per mag


Mr Cheong (KL): offset printing, sewn binding: RM 120 per mag (price quoted when I last spoke to him in July)


Funds that we have: estimated RM 4500 (chan will update me with the real figure soon)
Based on this figure, each person will be subsidised RM 56 for his/her convo mag, the remaining $ will be paid by himself/herself.

Group List for Photoshoot

Hi everyone,

Shown below is the list for our group photoshoot. You may notice that some groups have combined their groups; thus they will be given 2 pages for the group photoshoot followed 2 pages for the individual factsheet.

The bolded names are of that of the leaders, please confirm your concept/theme with William and book a photography session with him asap to allow Alen to start his work on layout and design. Thanks for your cooperation in making our convo mag a success =)

Bpharm Superlatives

As we will have to vote for the 'hall of fame' by 18/7, we (especially the Profiles, Polls and Dedications Team) would like you to channel your ideas here.

Hall of Fame features 'awards' like facebook superlatives, whereby we nominate a few candidates for a certain 'award'.

e.g.
-Most likely to be the next Bill Gate
-Most likely to be a lecturer in imu
-Bpharm Sleeping King
-Joker of the Batch



....u get the idea. So which awards SHOULD be in the convo mag? Let's start discussing!

cheers,
gw


Friendly reminder: Submit pics to Alen by 18/7, thanks!

United Job Distribution

Dear all,

We need to start working on our convo mag like NOW.... Why?

1. Our seniors did NOT have a convo mag. I heard u ask, 'didn't they raise funds for that? the cupid thingy?' My answer is, yes they DID plan for a convo mag, but they didn't have time in sem7 and sem 8 to complete it, so they did away with the convo mag. We do not wish to end up like them, do we?


2. In sem 7, quite a number of our friends won't be in kl as they are doing their researches in their hometowns. It is hard to call for editorial board meetings, let alone discussion with the class. There is NO MORE ROOM for 'see first', 'gather more ideas', etc.


3. The current sem4 medic(going on sem 5) had their editorial board elected like weeks ago, and as of TODAY, they have already voted for the polls. They are also planning for fund-raising activities. That's how EFFICIENT we should be.


Dateline: The blueprint of the convo mag must be done BY THE END of sem 7. Sem 8 is for the finishing touches. All other sems complete their convo mag in one sem, so can we!



Job Distribution:
Everyone:
1.Select photos that you would like to be featured in the convo mag and pass them to your respective group leaders (Committee members please take note). Photoshop them or get someone to photoshop for you if possible. (Alen has a heavy task ahead so we shall lighten his burden. During this holz, u can learn photoshop from online tutorials!!)


By the end of the 3rd week of sem 7, if alen hasn't received photos from you (sem1-6), we take it that you trust alen's judgement greatly *wink* and he & his team shall select the photos on your behalf.


2. Help us find a printing company. We want:
-Hard cover, front and back
-100 coloured pages
-80 copies of convo mag


IMU printing guy quoted me RM100 per copy for the above criteria. Let's try to look for a cheaper alternative. Fyi, even if it is RM80 per copy, we are still Rm3500 short.


Articles and Contributions:
For articles, please come up with the list of events to be featured in the convo mag and get keen writers to start writing this hols, if possible.
This is a list that I thought of so far, if you have any suggestion, please get in touch with steph/chia woon's team.

Sem	Events/ Project
1	White Coat Ceremony B105 Orientation Hospital & Orphanage Visit IMU Cup
2	P106 Orientation Redang Trip
3	B106 Orientation IMU Cup
4	Malaysian Studies Cultural Project Industrial Attachment
5	IMU Cup- Cheerleading IMU Charity Run Cum Carnival
6	Love is In The Air Food Sale Hospital Attachment

For contributions, it means PHOTOS. Some events need not a write-up, but interesting captions will do, e.g.:




Profiles, Polls and Dedications:
Here are what mpharm did, hope they manage to bring 'enlightenment' to you all.

Dedications

Fabulous Secretary & her fabulous team:
Plan on interviewing lecturers and getting their msgs. Think of which lecturers u will feature in the interviews, what Qs to ask. Please send me the draft by the end of this holz if possible.


Sponsorships and Advertisements:
Can you please forward the sponsorship letter to imu alumni (Whom u all told me, promised
RM 1k) as well as VK bookstore & Sri Emas cafe?
Sponsorships may just be the key to narrowing the gap btw our target and our current funds!
Do use this holidays fruitfully ;)

Graphics and Layout:
Alen has started work on the cover design. The other roles are self-explanatory.

Mpharm's convo mag cover.

Feel free to offer your ideas and help=) ANYONE can offer their assistance in ANY section! Thanks for being part of the production of OUR convo mag.
