Weekly Updates - 13 Jan 08

Hi folks, how have you been...

Last week our volunteer room was filled with people for the first time. We have welcome close to 10 new friends. Of course, our dearest Shao Rong (aka "axxowex") shared with us his moments of truth when he first started volunteering and things that he managed to pick up along the way. Not forgetting our vice-chair, Li Yu also shared with us on how she was "cheated" but was happy about it. Also, our 2nd newest member, Lawrence (aka the small one) shared with how he started out by gathering information over the net etc. Guess most of us have different reason(s) as to how we first started out in volunteering and the experiences we have after joining the group. Take a few moments to think back that baby first step you took in volunteering and how it have created an impact in your life.. Just wonder if you have not taken this step where would you be now??.....................

This coming Saturday (19 Jan) we are having our normal activites in addition we are organising a video shoot out for individuals to "record" their special greetings for our residents..(Remember we posted an email earlier for you guys to send us your video clips..yah as usual we being media shy=no response). Wear your Sunday best to SILRA this Saturday.

Gentle reminder to all, next Saturday (26 Jan) is SILRA big day, we are having our Chinese New Year Celebration, ppPLEASE wear RED color T-shirts/polo/any top. Manpower required for lots of things...so please be @ SILRA by 1pm. More details released at later date.
