Meeting at Lamakaan on 14th November 2010

Added by Anil Kuppa
Attendees: Aishwarya Mishra, Datta Rajesh, Piyush, Sam and Anil Kuppa
The main agenda was about Hyderabad 10K Run.
How we can we best utilize this event? We considered the different options . We thought the best options was to ask people to invest money through Rangde and buy tickets.  The different categories are : 10K run (with timer) and 8Krun (Without timer) which cost 500Rs and 200Rs respectively.
We came up with the idea of adding 800 Rs. to the existing amount i.e. 600(Donation towards Rangde) + 200 (Rangde T-shirt) .We could have brand awareness as well as social investment.
I have created a form for the same:
http://bit.ly/b7iODF
Please check the form and let me know what changes could be done.
First, I will go to CCD and take a copy of the information of what they need.
Second, I would need someone who could draft a template for the confirmation mail once one fills the form.
Action Items:
1) Anil - To go to CCD and check the information necessary
2) To get the template of the mails
3) Aishwarya- To send the details of CITIBANK
