If you would like to sing, you would have to raise your hand to be in the singing queue, donate, and let the organizer know that you have donated. (The organizer will contact you.) When it is your turn, the emcee will announce your nick and you will share with us your beautiful voice.

The suggested donation amount is $5 per song for singers in the North America such as the U.S. and Canada and $1 per song for singers in Vietnam, European countries, Australia, or other countries. However, you are more than welcome to donate more as our goal is to generate as much fund as possible for the ESE Scholarship Fund.

You would have to raise your hand to be in the singing queue, donate, and let the organizer know that you have donated. (The organizer will contact you.) The emcee will invite the person you have requested to sing. (The person you are requesting to sing may raise his/her hand instead of you.)

7b) I have a beautiful singing voice that I would like to share with the room to generate some donations, but I do not have the money to donate to the ESE Scholarship Fund. What should I do?
If you have a beautiful voice and would like to contribute, you may contact the people on your friend list to see if anyone would like to sponsor you. If that doesn’t work, you may want to see if you can get someone in the room to sponsor you. With your beautiful singing voice, we are sure that you can get at least one person to sponsor you.

What is the role of the emcee?
An emcee is the master of ceremonies. His/her responsibility is to ensure the flow of the Karaoke Fundraiser. He/she will work closely with the organizer to ensure that all events are conducted in an orderly fashion. He/she will introduce the singers.


Situation the emcee may face:


A sponsor donates a high amount to the ESE Scholarship Fund to request for someone to sing when it’s not his or her turn yet.
- Since the goal is to raise as much money as possible within the limited time slot of 16 hours during the Karaoke Fundraiser, we appreciate generous donations. In this situation, the emcee should ask the audience for permission to allow the requested singer to have priority in the singing queue. Since it is a fundraiser and we have an understanding audience, this situation should not be a problem.

What is the role of the organizer?
The organizer will direct the flow of the singers. Organizers will help the MC to make sure that all events are conducted in an orderly fashion. For more information, please visit http://tienganh.net/showthread.php?t=6854&p=15618


What is the role of the accountant?
The accountant will check the ESE.Scholarship@gmail.com email account, send a receipt to the donors, and will update the website as donations are coming in. For the updated list of donations, please visit http://eseonline.net/scholarship.php?do=2010


What is the role of the room monitor?
The room monitors will observe the room to ensure a friendly environment for everyone in ESE since ESE is a G rated room.


Note:OoSoOSwtJenna is sponsoring all operators in Vietnam and Europe. In other words, you do not have to pay to sing. To show our appreciation of her generosity, please raise your hand and share with the room your beautiful voice so that we can generate more money for the scholarship fund.
