August 6, 2005 Saturday-BASA Volunteers came to CEFAM Seminar Room 2, Ateneo de Manila University, for a whole day workshop/getting-to-know you party with their fellow dreamers and doers.
They brainstormed project ideas for 1) library excellence 2) developing a culture of reading 3) propagating inspiring Filipino stories 4) finance and solicitations and 5) membership fun. Committee Apos presented their priority project for the next four months.
As a bonus, everyone also had a chance to establish their baseline eye spans and reading speeds and Ruby, one of our volunteers, shared tips on how to improve both. Thanks to Ruby for sharing her selections, particularly My Baby Dugong, which really struck a chord among the moms present.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who made this long overdue activity possible!!!
