</p></blockquote><div>I think as i explained in last mail. I am pretty sad about the absence of 2 people who are active in the promotion efforts at this point. There is no other words to describe it . I still belive we can do both the programs in a better way if it was after the rush timings. Anyway it is your trip and decision is yours. I am not branding it or building "angels" as you do .My focus is only on the executing responsibilities i have taken ie . Program & Finance <br>

<p> 50 or 100 people turning up alone does not add up to success. For me, more than the number of people turning up and the news story, the number of active contriutors to smc is the success measure. </p></blockquote><div>
True. There are many approaches to increase the reach to students. And we need to try these ways <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<p>So having as many people taking sessions and getting experience of organizing sessions is more important to me than pulling 1000 people for news photo. The more responsiilities are distributed, the stronger our community becomes.<br>
