Expressions International Annual Dinner and Dance 2004

These two months have been a grueling, nerve wrecking yet fulfilling experience for the fifteen odd members of Expressions International Annual Dinner and Dance 2004 Committee. The aims of these young aspiring talents, full of concepts and ideas, were pretty straightforward: To create an environment where staffs of Expressions International are able to enjoy their night of splendor for their fruit of labor over the efforts put in for the entire year.

The Committee had been meeting up often discussing and drafting up proposals after proposals, plans after plans… making sure that their client, Expressions International, is satisfied with the details for the night. They have even gone an extra mile considering any possibilities, be it good or bad, that may occur and how to salvage the situation if it ever happens, ensuring event will be run smoothly. Proper time management and team work was the main secret of success for the event as usually a Dinner and Dance would definitely require more than just two months of preparation.

The committee did it! Enthusiasm, laughter and love for one another filled the night. Staff worked together as a team in the exciting team building games. Some ladies even sacrificed their gentle image; play-act for hunks as one of the “to-be-searched” item to earn their team a point in the game of memory scavenger hunt.

Not only did the staffs enjoy themselves, the committee was treated as part of the family where they also indulged in mouth-watering buffets with different cuisines being served while at the same time playing the games.

Summing up the hard work of the students, Ms. Pearline Lee, President of Expressions International Dinner and Dance Committee commented after the event: “… pacesétter did a fantastic job for our D&D & we are very pleased with your effort to keep the event lively. We all had a very joyous night thanks to you. Once again thank you for all your good team work & in fact you people operate like a pro!” That could probably be the most heartening and encouraging words for the Committee. From baby steps where one knows nothing about managing an event to giant leaps in which one leads a successful event, isn’t this an enriching experience?
