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?
