[APPROVED] Starting Near Book Clubs In Tertiary Institutions

Hello @so608

Thanks for your detailed response. I appreciate it, and the work you’re all doing.

Concerning requests for receipts, etc., I understand the need for accountability, and I am willing to be held to held to the standards that help optimise accountability and transparency. I am willing, like I said earlier, to provide these documents where possible.

I (mis)understood @Dacha’s request here [quote=“Dacha, post:25, topic:16937”]
Let’s start with 10-20 people and rewards below $1000.

to mean reducing “rewards” for quiz winners, etc.

But now that I understand the request better, I have downsized the entire project, appropriately lowering the budget to $1000.

I have lowered the budget to $1000

Regarding a collaboration with @Hsmoney:

Indeed, a collaboration with @Hsmoney may have proved effective but after evaluating both the scope and current status of his project, I deemed such collaboration unnecessary (at the moment) and premature. The following are a few of the reasons why:

  1. There are currently no functional hubs running in any university. This is due largely to the ongoing strike by university teachers.

He reports this incident here:

  1. This first iteration of the Near Book Club targets a Polytechnic Institution whose running is unaffected by the striking university lecturers - primarily because it isn’t a “university” but a polytechnic.

These two reasons, to name a few, make a collaboration (at the moment) implausible and premature.

I am, of course, open to productive collaborations born out of the necessity to optimise impact.

Thank you again, @so608. Your contributions evoke progress.

Cheers @marketingdao-council.
