Yep, you've read that right! CCC will have its fund-raising activity this December! And it's gonna be a Cosplay Cafe~!!
As an organization that aims to share the love of cosplaying, CCC has done a lot of events for Cebuano cosplayers to enjoy. But sadly, events like Cosmeets and cosplay gatherings are not possible without the right budget. Yes, cosmeets do require money. Most organizers usually get the budget from their own pockets, and the founders have decided that it would be too much of a burden for the future organizers to do that.
Thus, the founders have thought of a number of fund-raising activities in order to raise money for cosmeets (and the likes). The earlier activity was CCC's "Yo! S.O.S." event last August, and CCC's very own Cosplay Cafe this December at UP's Otakufest!
The group is trying its best to make this activity possible. However, certain help must be needed for it to be successful. To give you a background of what the Cosplay Cafe is, let me tell you a bit of what the group has planned so far: Place and materials are yet to be negotiated, but the cafe will look like a small booth with just a few tables and chairs. The group aims to improve that. But with starting money limitations, having a fabulous cafe look is quite.. . Let's do our best, however!
As for the menu, it will be released a week before Otakufest (refreshments and cakes/pastries, anyone? ).
As i've mentioned, we do need certain help from you~.
Yes, YOU!
If you love to experience serving and greeting customers in a "cafe style" way, then hesitate no further! Join the CCC Cosplay cafe now! Below is a list of help that the cafe needs:
Waiter / Waitress
The cafe needs more people to serve our customers. As for your uniforms/costumes, there really is no need to have one same design. Since this is a cosplay cafe, you can wear any costume you like/cosplay any character you like. However, having an apron to match your cosplay would be nice (Byakuya-taichou with an apron? Why not! ).
Cleaner
Do you like washing dishes? Gathering customers' used plates? Or just sweeping at the front of the cafe? Then this job is for you!
Just like the waiter/waitress job above, there really is no specific uniform needed. Just cosplay the character you like. Or you can opt not to cosplay. It's really fine!
Entertainer
Greeting our customers is a crucial job. Some customers are shy, so asking them what they want would be a great help, don't you think?
(And no, this job is not about dancing and singing.. i think . Unless specified by one of the founders/staff? Haha.. But if you really like to perform for our customers, then why not? Let's serve them with our uplifting singing and dancing! ).
But basically, it's about ushering our customers and asking the shy ones what they want.
Let's welcome our customers with warm enthusiasm!
Cook / Food preparer
If you like cooking, then this job is perfect for you~! Our menu will consist of easy to prepare (but yummy ) snacks, so don't fret~! Also, it would be nice if you'd clean your mess (after cooking/preparing) ne~? So the Cleaner will not have a huge job, おk?
Tagabantay / Attendant
Think you're tough to handle nuisances in the cafe? Or do you like to sit and watch and make sure the cafe is safe? Then we need your help!
For now, that is the help that the cafe needs. We will add more info about this later.
Please, please, please, won't you help CCC raise funds?
The jobs listed here are voluntary work and will not have money compensation in return. However, the cafe staff would gladly offer snacks and food for the volunteers .
Since this is a fundraising activity, no money shall go to the helpers/organizers/staff of the cafe. It'll all go to CCC and its activities.
edit: GAAHH!! I forgot to mention something!!! D:
Uhm, i know some of you are planning to join a few contests in OF or do some stuff on that day. So uhm, I guess the cafe staff will prefer volunteers that do not have any other obligations for OF (not part of the OF staff or any booths, not part of any contests, etc). It's because we do not want you to have too much load on OF, and we do not want to get in the way of your contests.The cafe staff cares for the volunteers .
But if you still want to work for the cafe, then i guess we can compromise. Since i guess we'll assign shift work/schedules to the volunteers, you can tell us your contest time/obligations beforehand (so we can place you in a schedule where you won't have to run from one obligation to another).
FOR QUESTIONS, CLARIFICATIONS, REACTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS REGARDING CCC COSPLAY CAFE, PLEASE POST A COMMENT BELOW OR PM THIS ACCOUNT/ THE FOUNDERS . WE WILL POST ANOTHER ENTRY FOR THE DETAILS AND INFO (ABOUT THE CAFE, JOBS, UPDATES AND WHATNOT) .
Thank you for reaching the bottom of this page. That means you've read the whole thing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Let us all have fun in this activity!
With our fighting spirit and a heart willing to serve for a cause and frilly skirts, OF here we come~!!!!!
