THE PICNIC
After all is said and done, there is only so much that we can expect from well meaning people who, without so much as being asked, have volunteered to donate FOR FREE certain foods to the picnic. For example, Steamed Rice, Fresh Pork, Seaweeds, Spices, Kid Goatmeat, Beef, Chicken, Seafood, Various Condiments, Tomatoes, Onions, Salt, Hot Peppers and Beverages are a few of the food items volunteered.
But we are also all realists. We know that we need plastic utensils, paper plates, styrofoam cups, napkins, desserts, ice and other various and sundry last minute items that need to be purchased in order to serve the meal. We make the purchases with MONEY. Yes, money.

The COMMUNITY DANCE
There will be no charges at the gate, nor tickets to be sold, nor any fund raising during the affair. It is FREE. Will they have a live band? Or are they going to spin discs? Or use laptop computers to run their videoke machines?
Of course there will be a live band. What does it take to hire a live band? MONEY. Yes, money.
By the way, remember those raffle tickets that we distributed during the first days of the celebration? We are going to draw and announce some winners during the evening of the dance. What a great idea. But what should we give for prizes? Do we have any sponsors coming to the forefront offering such awards? I heard somebody say, "It's still too early. Just wait. We will have all kinds of people who will gladly sponsor these prizes." Oh, okay. I can wait. But bottom line is, what will it take to secure such prizes? MONEY. Yes, cold, hard cash.

The KIOSK
How wonderful to see our scholars getting into the act. They are manning the booth - chaperoned by an adult member of SAS Ai of course. They are there to answer questions about our organization:
These promotionals... the ballpoint pens with the SAS Ai logo, the baseball caps with the SAS Ai logo, the cups with the SAS Ai logo - where did all these things come from? Oh those... well, they were purchased. Yes, with MONEY.
There is no escaping the fact that we need money to pull this off. Members of SAS Ai, please, it's not too early to begin looking for sponsors, donors, contributors, helpers, and supporters. Scan your network of friends, your batchmates, classmates, college mates, and co-workers. We need all the help we can get.

- How did you kids get those scholarship awards?
- Who gave them to you?
- What is SAS Ai anyway?
- How come you are forming another group when there is already an AA?
- What makes you think that you are necessary?
- Hey, do you have any souvenirs?
- Who is in charge here?
