Current Hiccups

- Manpower – get more people willing to help out:

by sat.

- Story (extract)– how to package it in an

Interesting manner to public, without making it a

chore to read (too many words) [settled at 200]

- how to get full story out? Ask them to like the page (if we have one) immediately?

- Can we sell edible items in school?

- how to make ourselves more attractive to the public?
