CRY-UKY's KADAM
KADAM-A SMALL STEP FOR A CHILD'S RIGHT.....
On March 29th we organised last event of CRY-UKY for the year 2007-2008. Till last year there have been only car washes,walks and setting up of booths organised by CRY-UKY as part of fundraising events. KADAM added as a new baby for the Lexington chapter.
Last year in May when we had meeting before car wash one of our most active volunteers(Harsha) came up with an idea of CRY-NIGHT. Every one felt that it was a good idea but struggled for the proper time to implement that. Because during fall semester,ISA will have a big event called DIWALI DHOOM. Students will not afford for another event in the same semester. So the idea submerged.
We conducted car wash which was a big success...we raised around 700$ and walmart people refused to match the amount as it was big :(. Then came CRY-WALK which was a failure (though we raised more amount thru donations). Every one felt like having CRY-NIGHT but at the same time pulled their hair for appropriate time. Fall semester completed.. some left 2 India... some left for jobs...some for vacations in US.....By the mid of Feb all most everyone returned.
In the midst of FEB our event coordinator(Ram Mohan) came up with an idea of celebrating UGADI by collecting money from students. Then a idea flashed in my mind why can't CRY organise this? So we started discussing with the members of the committee. Some of the members suggested the chance of attendance from all the people as it is UGADI. Finally name changed from "Ugadi" to "HOLI AND UGADI" celebrations.
This happened 4 weeks back and since then everyone spent their valuable time for making the event success. On march 29th we made it. Though there have been small hurdles we crossed it and made it a success.....Very happys at the end :).
Within a week or two my tenure as CRY-UKY Treasurer for the Year 2007-2008 completes. When I turn back I have many good experiences working with my team. Though there have been misunderstanding while working together we ended up in raising funds more when compared to other years. I felt bad for small fights we had while coordinating the events but later I realised ....This is team work and also how to breed success out of it.
A new era in cry-uky has started by our committee and I hope the same zeal continuous with the new committee. Once again KUDOS to all the members and volunteers for working and making the events of CRY-UKY successfull.
