We need to get this meeting started because we have a lot to do before graduation. Thank you all for electing me as your chairman and I will do my best to make sure we have a great graduation ceremony. I just need all of your cooperation to get everything running smoothly.You have all been selected by your departments to plan the graduation. You should all feel honored that your classmates thought highly of you. Right now a sheet of paper is going around that I need you all to fill out. Pleasewrite down your name, telephone number, and what part of the graduation you would like to help organize. Please keep in mind that all the parts of the graduation require a great deal of time and devotion. So please sign up only for a part that you have time for. When you have signed the paper with your name, telephone number and part, please place the paper on my desk. At our next meeting on Friday, we will break up in groups and get to work on everything. Start thinking about how you want to organize your small groups before then. See you on Friday.。
