Chapter 124: Updates On The Fundraising

At the orphanage, Timothy called everyone for a Meeting again after lunch. He wanted to share and get updates regarding the fundraising.

"From last time, I talked to the facilitators and they were enthusiastic about the fundraising activities. Anyway, Ms. Serena and Ms. Emily, may we request you both to update the body on the progress of your projects?" Timothy asked. Everyone in the meeting room turned to look at Serena first.

"From my end, with regards to the song, Leonard, Geoffrey, and I are currently working on its melody. The lyrics has already been finalized. However, I wish not to divulge it at the moment. On the other hand, I have already spoken with Mr. Edward Easton and he was enthusiastic about our project. In fact, he even volunteered to donate his share of profit from the song once it is sold to the market. I am not sure if we should talk about this now, but he has raised one important issue concerning who will handle the distribution of funds later." Serena explained.

"I believe that it is still premature to talk about that as we don't even have any projection on how much funds it would raise. As of now, we can simply ask all the proceeds to go the student council to let all of you handle the distribution later. Is that agreeable?" Timothy suggested.

Serena turned to look at everyone, hearing no one voicing their opinion, she assumed that everyone was leaving it to her.

"Yes, thank you. There is also another issue I wish to raise. We are currently working on the list of people who will be singing some lines in the song. I wish to give priority to the members of the council and those who are with us today. However, I understand that not all can join for certain reasons. So, if possible, can we proceed with a quick survey on who will be joining and not?" Serena asked.

"Alright, I think we can do that now." Timothy responded seeing the students give nods of approval.

"So, may I request all those who are willing to take part in singing the song to please raise their hands?"

Serena looked around the room and saw that aside from Emily, Charlton, Isabel, Douglas, and Kylo, everyone raised their hands. She started writing their names in her notebook, while thinking that this outcome was within her expectations.

"Aside from Emily and Charlton who are taking lead on the other project may I ask why you three do not wish to partake in it?" Timothy asked.

Kylo was first to reason, not wanting Via to think that he was taking sides. "To tell you honestly, I see this project as a movement that can be classified as political later. So, I don't think that I can be a part of it even if I want to. Geoffrey should understand my reason well enough."

Geoffrey nodded his head in agreement. Kylo has a direct claim to the throne being the 2nd prince of Alighieri. Outshining his brother, the crown prince, was something he must try to avoid.

Douglas on the other hand looked at Geoffrey in askance. "I don't know about here in Windsor, but in our kingdom, it would be frowned upon if the crown prince were to dabble in the entertainment industry."

Everyone turned to look at Geoffrey. It was an indirect jab, and they don't know what gave Douglas the courage to say those words.

Geoffrey seeing everyone looking at him just turned to answer. "The same is true. However, I don't see this project only as just entertainment but a movement fighting for a cause. Though, I do understand where you're coming from. So, let's leave it at that."

"For me, well, I just want to be more hands-on in helping Mr. Charlton and Emily on their project…" Isabel spoke when everyone turned to look at her.

"alright. So, Miss Serena anything else?" Timothy asked.

Serena shook her head.

"then, Miss Emily?"

"Good afternoon everyone. Regarding our project, we have already outlined the program for that day. Kindly get one copy each of the paper I will be passing for reference." Emily began as she passed the paper to her left and right. When everyone received a copy, she continued.

"As you can see, written on the paper is the program schedule. The tentative date of the event will be on the 15th of April, a Sunday, from 1 to 4 in the afternoon. Now, the event itself would be a benefit concerto, wherein the lineup of the performers is comprised of the children and ourselves. We selected this set-up rather than a stage play to ensure that all the children get to participate. Early this morning, I talked to the facilitators regarding this matter, and they agreed to be the ones responsible in ensuring that the children will be able to perform on that day. Before moving further, may I also get a quick survey to know who are willing to volunteer performing on that day?"

Everyone raised their hand except for Serena, Leonard, Geoffrey, and Via.

Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Via clarified, "I'm not good with music instrument."

Timothy knew what was going on recalling the transgression 2 weeks ago, but he just let it go as it was better this way to avoid friction.

"Thank you. As we have 12 people performing, I suggest that we all do a solo so that we will be able to fill in the time. Another important matter to talk about regarding the event is the promotion stage. I understand that our target is a huge amount and thus, the scale of the event must also be grand. We are still working on everything, but as of now, that's what we came up with."

Timothy nodded, "very good. I think that the two projects are on track. Any comments or suggestions to the two before we return our respective assignments?"

As there were none, their meeting was adjourned.
