Line Up for 2009

The following is an email from Club President, Thasban, giving us an overall list of a possible line up of events of next year. As for the rest of the Interactors (excluding those whose names are stated in the last few posts), there hasn't been much response from you guys.

Hello everybody. It has been a long time since our last meeting.

Its Thasban here and I am writing to you regarding next year's plans for our Interact Club activities and agendas. In this e-mail, I will be writing about suggestions of activities, for example Community Projects, Funding Projects, the much anticipated International Understanding Day( I.U. Day) etc.

Firstly, I would like to enlighten you guys on an event which will be jointly organized by 4 schools in our Interact district. The event being organized is the charity dinner. The purpose of having this dinner is to generate funds for two orphanages (refer to SMKDJ Interact blog). Although I understand that our school was given the least responsibility, but it would be appreciated that everybody, including you could lend a helping hand into making this event an fruitful and successful one.

Now, lets start off with the I.U. Day. En Lerk has suggested “War” as next year's I.U. theme. The theme will be all about the devastating aftermath of a war and to send the message that having a war is not an ordinary win-lose situation. There were also suggestions of having an I.U. Week, where the event will compromise of exhibitions, performances etc. along a whole week. A suitable theme has not been chosen to suit the suggested I.U. Week. Especially in this area, I need feedback on suggestions, ideas, criticism on the suggested themes so that a better I.U. Day/Week could be planned out.

Next, here comes the Community Project. Automatically, I have a very good one in mind. We could paint a wall (Basketball court wall) as the wall is “owned” by our Interact Club and all we have to do is to paint the wall, simply with any design agreed. Also, we can do Odd Jobs as the project, or even do chores around school, like cleaning the school hall etc.

Furthermore, the Funding projects. From my part, I have suggestions like Valentine's Day sales, Chinese New Year Sales etc. There's nothing I could expand on here because I don't really have swell ideas. Again, we need ideas from all parties possible.

That's about all for my little announcement and kick-start plans. If you have any suggestions and ideas, please list them down with the suggested date, time etc. and e-mail it to me (thasban@hotmail.com) and if you have any comments as well, feel free to e-mail me too.

I hope i'm not too late, but Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


Yours Truly,
Thasban

Now i suggest maybe all the BODs have a meeting before the start of 2009? Or at least before the co-curricular activities start next year, so that we can have everything already well planned out, and when the time comes, all we need to do is execute.

Also i suggest all Interactors subscribe to the blog's RSS feed here - http://interactsmkdj.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default so that you can be automatically updated with what's happening lately and we don't have to email you to come and check the blog.
