Hello Buddies! GFSquad is back again and will be doing a Birthday support project for Yerin's 24th Birthday and Umji's 22nd Birthday this year! As we have been for our past projects, we will celebrate again by collecting funds to purchase a wreath to donate under Ye-Sister's name as well as give them each a message book with message from Buddies! We will also be purchasing gifts for the Ye-Sisters! Like our previous Birthday supports, we will have member and donor involvement as well! See "GFS Member Project Involvement" below for more details. For those who haven't seen the types of projects we do, please visit here to see reviews of all our previous projects! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DONATIONS Donation Goal:$700USD This donation goal will be to cover the cost of purchasing wreaths and message books for both Yerin and Umji (They will both get their own wreath and message book.) All extra donations will then be allocated to purchase gifts for Ye-Sisters. Minimum Donation Amount: $5.00USD Donation Period: July 7, 2019 - TBA Benefits for Donors: A Forum Donation Award added to your profile. Example of previous awards: Your forum status will also be changed from "Bud" or "Buddies" to "Donors" A free forum title change. (Post your title change requests here) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GFS MEMBERS PROJECT INVOLVEMENT To make Buddies feel more involved in our projects, Buddies can help make decisions on the outcome of the project! Donors of the project will be invited to join a project team group chat, on the instant messaging app LINE, to brainstorm and work together on project tasks like: decide on what wreath to purchase the wording on the ribbons on the wreath type of gifts wrapping of gifts etc. For all Buddies who have donated to the project, please visit the below Donor thread (Only accessible to donors) to find the link to the chat. Our initial donation goal will be to cover the cost of the Wreath and message book as that is the core of the project. The donation goal will be decided once the type of wreath is decided. If we exceed our donation goal, the excess donations will be used to purchase a gift for the Ye-Sisters! This will be decided jointly with members. The process for deciding what gifts we will buy will be something like this: Take suggestions from Buddies and compile them together Create a poll for Buddies to decide on what to purchase The winner of the poll will be the gift chosen to be purchased. *We will try to make this as interactive as possible. However, if we run into unforeseen obstacles that may hinder the project timeline, GFSquad will make the executive decision on what will be done" CURRENT INVOLVEMENT: Please help us decide on what type of wreath to purchase for the Ye-Sisters! You may vote for the type of wreath in the polls above. Poll ends on July 22, 2019. Please submit your messages and fanarts for our Message Books for the Ye-Sisters! Send your HQ drawings to events@gfsquad.com with title #HappyYesistersDay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROJECT TIMELINE To ensure that we are able to compile the wreath and gifts together by the Ye-Sister's birthday, there will be a schedule that we will follow: Donation Period: July 7, 2019 - TBA Message Compilation for Message Book Process: July 7, 2019 - TBA **Timeline subject to change** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [TUTORIAL] HOW TO DONATE: 1.

By doing artworks of GFriend and as a professional artist, first of all how did you became fan of GFriend? When it was all started? My friend was an old fan of GFriend. She told me about GFriend and I was interested because I liked their song at first. but well... as you can see, I'm a huge fan now. lol. Q. As a Buddy, are there other things like hobbies or interests that you passionately do (or wanted to do in the future) in supporting GFriend? Um. I'm not sure either. well, I'm just good at drawing. so I'll try a little harder and paint a nice picture for GFriend and for buddies who loving my works. https://twitter.com/vazziii_52/status/1032873733633925121 Q.

Giving all the efforts and preparations to be done. Where do you get inspirations in doing GFriend fan arts? What are the things that keeps you motivated to do it? Motivation... Hmm.
