Silvia Vivanco:@ Siranus do we have a headcount of ALSes who will be in person in Singapore?

Siranush Vardanyan:i will come back to this question
Silvia Vivanco:Gisella do we have the catering numbers from last time?
Ariel Liang:regarding the traditional knot lanyard, we won't be able to add prints on it because they are rather thin
Ariel Liang:that's the only drawback
Satish Babu:Thanks Siranush.
Silvia Vivanco:Last time how many attended?
Silvia Vivanco:more than 15-20
Silvia Vivanco:Perhaps the more the cheaper? sometimes providers sell cheaper if you buy more items

Silvia Vivanco:This is a very quick review because the monthtly call follows
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:understood Ariel
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:I prefer the red traditional design USB if we went with them but they are probably out of our reach...
Siranush Vardanyan:USBs are issues I assume, based on what i hear
Silvia Vivanco:We also need to "time" every performance
Silvia Vivanco:as we have normally 1 hr followed by a cocktail
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:yes smaller stationed demonstration areas will work
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:and a take away name piece is just fine...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:that could also work for dumplings IMO as well
Siranush Vardanyan:agree, Cheryl
Ariel Liang:I will confrim with the caligraphy instructor about the set up of the caligraphy demo - a caligraphy station in the room instead of a formal performance
Satish Babu:The Chinese names sound interesting...
Silvia Vivanco:Thank you Kelvin
Silvia Vivanco:and Gisella will coordinate the logistics with you
