Complete all parts of the assessment below using your own words.
To: You
From: tina.hughes@cbsa.com.au
Date/time: August 1st, 8.05am
Subject: Project Brief
To You,
Thank-you for agreeing to lead this project on such short notice. As you know, our annual charity events are a big part of our community engagement strategy and from experience, they can be a lot of fun to plan! Beyondblue are an amazing charity, so it will be fantastic that we can raise some much-needed funds for them. I have attached the project brief for this event which will outline the project parameters. As far as the dinner dance goes, I am thinking that the following activities will be a must:
? Dinner and drinks
? Dancing
? Prize raffles
? Merchandise store
? Beyondblue information stalls or other creative ways to share information
I did make some preliminary calls to venues and obtained the following quotes:
? Arc convention centre: $15,000 (room + food and drinks package for 50 people)
? Gala ballroom at the Tivoli: $10,000 (room + food and drinks package for 100 people)
? Hilton paradise function room: $25,000 (room + food and drinks package for 150 people)
Of course, you and the project team can decide the finer details, but these activities and quotes a starting point. I have quickly briefed the project team and have tasked them with getting some more quotes which they will bring to the planning meeting.
I look forward to seeing your draft project plan and we can discuss details further in the project planning meeting.
Kind Regards,
Tina Hughes

PROJECT FINALISATION SCENARIO
Congratulations, the project is now complete. You have received an email from Tina below:
To: You
From: tina.hughes@cbsa.com.au
Date/time: October 11th 4pm
Subject: Final results
To You,
Wow – what a night! It will be an event to remember! I would like to thank you for doing such a great job with this project. The final figures are below:
Total expenditure: $28,598
Total raised: $53,200
Revenue type Amount
Merchandise $1,200
Ticket sales (120x$100) $12,000
Auction $37,500
Additional donations $2,500
You have been very organised. Providing everyone with regular progress updates kept the project on track. That being said, I do feel there are a few areas that we can look at to improve future fundraising events. The main issues that I identified were:
? Difficulty acquiring staff volunteers early on in the project
? The issue with the $2000 travel voucher being withdrawn from Dream Makes ? Only 120 tickets being sold, what happened to the other 30?
? The issue with the DJ arriving when the event started (4pm) instead of half an hour before to set up
? The week before the event was complete chaos
I look forward to seeing your draft final project report and we can discuss outcomes further in the meeting next week.
Kind Regards,
Tina Hughes
Sales and Marketing Manager
