She explained to them the consequences of being absent and advised them to talk to her or Ms. Verbena if they are having any difficulties. The members discussed and made plans for the first food sales that will be held on 28 April 2012. Members decided on the items and the amount of items that will be on sale. They also identified what they will contribute toward the sale. Suggestions and plans were also made for the second food sale. This sale was dated for 26 May,2012 but some members said ,since it will be independence day; it is less likely that many people would come out. So it was suggested that we have a hot dog sale on the 27th May 2012 at the seawalls instead. The leader told the members that we still have to seek for a carpenter who will make quality cubicles for a reasonable cost. The banner team was encouraged to have the banners completed for the first sale. The meeting ended at 15:00 hours.
