Hi all Joy Gatherers,

Times flies, 2011 had ended and 2012 has approached.

Have you done your review for last year and set new goals for the new year ? A few of us had done a review for Joy Gathering and we will share our calendar with all of you soon. Last year, we lost about 6 elderlys, we still have 41 dear elderlys with us and they are are getting older each year. For the 41 dear ones, there is a no. of interesting events lined up to let them live their remaining journey as interesting and fulfilling as possible. All these events will not be able to roll out without all of us coming together as joy gatherers to serve them and befriend with them. Hence, this year, we hope to recruit as many new & committed volunteers as possible and hope to see more of you coming back whenever you are available. You got the hint ? keke....

Dear Volunteers,

Did you have a busy week? Any plans for this weekend? :)

Why don't you join us, unwind, relax, spend sometime with our elderly at SILRA?

Though its a regular service this week, we hope to see you there.. at 230 pm.. we will have coffee tea session, befriending, Karaoke and maybe even a short walk in the park!

Everyone can be great because anyone can serve.

You don't have to have a college degree to serve.

You don't even have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve... You only need a heart full of grace.

A soul generated by love... - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

See you!
