Summary
Highlights
The club resolves to proactively communicate with Makabayan officers by holding a separate meeting to coordinate events and ensure mutual understanding. They emphasize that all officers should be involved in the paperwork and planning process. The meeting concludes with a decision to start a new call as the current Google Meet call approached its time limit.
The club discusses their action plan, aiming for two activities per semester or 5-6 events overall. They emphasize the need for early formal approval for events, ideally by August, through coordination with the 'ministry guild'. Concerns are raised about new officers not being fully informed about the ministry guild's requirements. They consider collaborating with the parent club, Makabayan, by either adopting one of Makabayan's activities or having Makabayan head one of their music-related events.
The trimester system presents a challenge for all clubs in organizing activities. They anticipate delays in action plan approvals, potentially waiting for the 'SSLGS'. There's a need to coordinate with newly elected Makabayan officers, particularly the president, to streamline approval processes. A past issue with 'Ma'am Parot' rejecting paperwork for some clubs is noted as a potential hurdle, emphasizing the need for proper re-drafting and parental consent for club members.
The immediate focus is on organizing auditions. They plan for a 3-4 day audition period, starting next week, potentially on Wednesday. A meeting with 'Ma'am Pedro' is scheduled for Tuesday next week to discuss audition details and other tentative events. They also consider a one-day-a-week practice schedule, ideally on Wednesday or Thursday, to accommodate student workloads and maximize attendance.
The club lists tentative events including auditions (aiming for 3 days), intrams, and 'Buwan ng Wika' celebrations. They discuss the possibility of becoming more independent from Makabayan to directly receive awards by fulfilling at least 50% of their action plan. Potential events include caroling and being openers for school events.
The importance of officers assisting with auditions and other events is highlighted, especially for Grade 12 students seeking leadership awards. The club aims to complete 50% of their action plan to ensure recognition and leadership award eligibility. They also suggest generalizing events in their action plan and setting aside major events to be communicated with the ministry guild.
A discussion ensues about redesigning the club polo, with a preference for a new design over last year's. Ma'am Pedro's tendency to reject designs is a concern. They consider differentiating officer and member polos, with officers' polos including their positions. There's a suggestion to delay member polo production to next year due to cost and potential for outdated designs. They also express frustration about the lack of communication from Makabayan officers, particularly regarding being excluded from their GC and meetings.
