Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.* Content 1.

We hope that all of you had a great time! Also to all the participants, we hope you are all settling well in your respective teams. In Major Event, we want to explore new ways to meet our objectives of bonding our Singsoc members and showcasing our Singaporean culture. Thus, we would like to introduce a *fundraising proposal *as a new way of meeting these objectives while raising funds to improve the welfare of our participants. The proposal is to hold a series of small fundraising events across the academic calendar. An idea is to set up booths around campus selling food, handicrafts and other items that are uniquely Singaporean. The proceeds of these events will be used to improve the welfare of our participants, i.e. more food during trainings etc. Any additional proceeds will go to charity. We hope that these fundraising events would allow volunteers to interact with different people in Singsoc, allow us to promote the Singaporean culture to the Imperial Community through the food and items we sell and have a platform to publicize Major Event. We also hope that with the greater flexibility in timing, many of you can support Major Event and it’s participants through these one-off fundraisers. With that, we hope that you could help us complete a survey HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…> so that we can get your feedback and see if we can gather the response to start this initiative. We hope that you can support us! Your grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes Major Event Officer, Jasper 2. Ski Trip Hi Everyone! Bookings for the ski trip have begun! Get your place fast!
