Reservation must be made within three months before the event and should be made as soon as the allowed reservation time starts.

 

As soon as the reservation is secured, contact CACC-recommended DJ to provide up-to-date music for Karaoke.

 

Form a committee to assign the work required, which includes the following:

 

1. Contact VP-Instruction to get teacher's list who are on the 5th, 10th, etc. anniversary and will receive a plaque in the Banquet.

2. Contact VP-Administration to make plaques for teachers in item 1 above, for each Board member, and office assistants who are on 5th, 10th,.etc. anniversary.

3. Contact VP-Instruction to find graduating students (one Mandarin and one Cantonese) to deliver a speech.

4. Find two MCs (parents or students)

5. Contact for catering service (estimate $8/person).

6. Schedule any special program (e.g., slide show about BCS )

8. Purchase drinks and refreshments.

9. Flower setup for the table and a bouquet for each teacher

10. Setup tables and chairs before the Banquet.

If the Board decides to sell the Banquet tickets to parents, then the following tasks will be added:
