EMAIL – STUDENT’S – PLEASE READ
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.
We are looking at this charity event to be completed in the next 6 weeks. As you are aware, our organisational
goals and objectives are to provide quality care for our customers and we would like to demonstrate this with
our annual charity event.
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. Please provide details in your Project Plan of the budget requirements for everything that you will
need for this event.
As you are aware, we will need to recruit some staff for this event – to manage everyone.
I look forward to seeing your draft project plan and we can discuss details further in the project planning
meeting.
Kind Regards,
Tina Hughes
