3. CBS Recruitment:

- There is a progressive status on the recruitment as there is a good number of Cebu Bloggers that are responding to the invitation.
- One attraction that existing CBS members could suggest drooling others to join is FOOD TRIPPING/BLOGGING activity on weekends.

4. Food trips:

- Each is expected to be self-sufficient on Food Trips as of this time or “KKB” in other words.
- Suggested that we could start our food blogging on Figaro during the meet up with our guest blogger.
- The group thought of a photo op with the restaurant’s / coffee shop’s shift supervisor/manager. So bring your cameras peeps!
- We might ask for their Email add of the shop so we could send the URLS for those who chose to blog about their food products/services.
- Ms. Aileen of Sunchoke.net volunteered to do the printing of the cards.
- We are still waiting for Mark Tan’s approval for our “official” CBS logo created by Ms. Wilhelmina of Misswilhelmina.com. But still open for changes. Here’s the link again of the logo.

5. Meet up with the 3 Travel Bloggers from Manila:

- It was indeed a warm and successful meet up with the 3 travel bloggers: Eric of Byahilo.com, Melo of lakbaypilipinas.com/blog and Nina of justwandering.org
- There’s small GTKY/introduction by CBS members and the 3 travel bloggers in Bo’s Ayala.
