Hey guys! Its that time of year again; the YFCI Founding Week. This year, we'll be celebrating our 3rd full year since founding. Isn't that awesome? Okay, now its time for the planning. I'm hoping we can make this celebration EXTRA special with atleast one chat on YIM, and challenge our members to do one good act offline (like volunteer, or help someone out with homework). What do you think we should do? Would you volunteer to head that event/idea/project/webpage? What things worked and weren't so great from last year? What improvements to we NEED to make this year? Lets get the planning rolling people!

Would it be better if we just got rid of Founding Week all together? Or should we put everything into just one day?
C'MON GUYS! I'm begging you here.. we had so much enthusiasm before (especially 2 years ago)! What do you think?

actually I like the founding week:D ... it's the time where many changes occur (new site for example) sth I love .. anyway.. .hmm... What about strengthen the relationships of YFCI with its partners (and I don't mean only UYCW --)... there are Partners which we don't really know right.. we don't do anything together.. and what about giving a name to the next year of YFCI.. like "Year of Cooperation" or "Year of Environmental Awareness" or sth like that.. and the UYCW will create a scrapbook for its year so what about creating a scrapbook of what happened in those 4 years? ( I can help with that!)

Wow, lots of suggestions; I like it ;D Thanks Haris and hawalul for their suggestions.
Great idea about scrapbooks and improving relationships with partners- i hate that many of our organization partners are only link-exchanges, and not enough collaboration.
Okay, so that sounds great. What do you mean by scrapbook?

Right, Right.. I'm also pretty busy. Maybe we can delay the week for a month or so.. maybe late January (for the holidays to past?), is that okay with everyone? any objections?

I suggest we delay the week until Christmas, when we are gonna have some spare time

Okay, well that sounds good But I'll definately need a lot of time, since making the scrapbook thing on Photobucket seems like it will take a while. Does anyone else want to put something together?

Thanks for the offer Jen! I don't want to press you or anything, but if you want to experiment with a video, desktop wallpaper or some images, feel free It would be great for ALL the help we get! Would anyone like to write any articles in the blog, or on the website? Any ideas of what we could write about? I'm emailing Haris about the remix, so if anyone else wants to help with that, or have suggestions for it, please tell! Thanks a bunch!

I don't really know how it works since i have only recently joined in but i can help with the photoshop and so.....
I think we could make wallpapers and desktop icons so members could download.... also it'd be nicea recap of what has been achieved in the past three years... at least just for taking record of it.
