Planning the Putting Course
1To: Dalia | From: Kenji | Subject: Mini-golf fundraiser plans
2Our plan for Friday is tentative. We have sketched six mini-golf holes, but the activities director has not approved our use of the recreation room. We should wait for her reply before announcing a location. Meanwhile, we can test the cardboard ramps in an empty classroom.
3I think the course is feasible: we can borrow putters, reuse cardboard, and finish construction during our two remaining meetings. My concern is the narrow entrance. If every player stops there to pay, it could become a bottleneck, with people crowded together and unable to move forward. Let's collect payments at a table farther inside.
4Could you reserve the folding tables before another club requests them? A modest ticket price—low enough for students with limited spending money—should encourage participation. We could also waive the fee for volunteers; they would enter without paying after completing their shifts.

6The director approved the room this morning! I added a fifteen-minute buffer between setup and opening so we can handle small delays without starting late. I also made the entrance sign conspicuous by using large black letters on bright yellow paper. Players should spot it immediately, even from across the hallway.
7We should keep a cash reserve for unexpected expenses rather than spend every dollar on decorations. After we pay our costs, any surplus—the money left over—will go toward new equipment for the after-school program. Before making that donation, let's reconcile our records: compare the ticket list with the cash total and investigate any differences.
8Please be candid about the ramp I built. If its steep slope makes the hole frustrating, tell me directly instead of saying it looks fine. We still have time to adjust it. I'll bring the materials Thursday, and we can ask two classmates to test the revised course.
