Fund Raising for MMU MASTER 2009

This morning, supposingly in the schedule were 4 peoples incharged for finding sponsor for our badminton club biggest event- MMU MASTER 2009, but ends up only 3 who turn up. Me, Alex and Rachael are the only 3 committees went out for finding sponsors, and we started our activity sharp at 10.30am.

The venue that we had to incharge is around Batu Berendam area. I found out Batu Berendam area was a very hard place to find sponsors, because today we just managed to collect an amount of RM35. YES, RM35! What to do.. We had tried hard shops by shops, explain to the worker/boss in the shop that we are organizing this event, and hope to get some support from boss and so on. The boss ends up ending the conversation by NO. THANKS!

Through my observation, I found out that some shops' managers have a very good "acting skills" while we went through their shop for fund raising. The examples of the conversation as below:

Me: Good morning, sir.. We're from MMU BADMINTON CLUB. This April we will be having a biggest badminton event, MMU MASTER 2009 at Yok Bin Secondary School. This event is open category. Due to the limited budget, we need to find some sponsor to support us make this event successfully. Do boss willing to support us ? (Short cut text)

"BOSS": Err.. Boss not in... The incharge person also not in.. I cannot make decision. Sorry! Thanks. (Padahal sendiri boss!)

After listened to those comments, 3 of us felt so swt and speechless. We're not forcing them to sponsor us, but please don't cheat us and treat us like we're 0 knowledge human. We're university student la! Common! Haha... But is fine.. We at least managed to get other 3 companies that under consideration. Actually not bad la, now the economic situation so bad, got peoples want to sponsor feel thankful already. We ended our activities around 4pm.
