Hey AOCFers,
How's it going? Exhausted with uni work? Have been drinking coffee and red bull most of the time to stay awake? Haih...tired tired !!!
Anyway, here are the following updates.
Friday meetingAs usual,
Time : 5.30pm
Venue : St Andrew's Church ( next to music school.
If you don't know where it is, meet outside the chapel latest by 5.15pm.)
On Friday, a new staffworker from TSCF, Elliot Ng will be joining us and give a talk based on songs and lyrics. You may ask what's so biblical about this. Find out more on Friday. You may find something that you may not know before from this talk on Friday so do come!!.
We will head back to food alley for dinner this time as the responds for last week's place is not too good. Hahah...
OCF Annual General Meeting
We're having our Annual General Meeting (AGM) next Friday, Aug 28th, during our usual Friday meeting time. This is when we elect our new core committee members (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer).
WHO:
The current committee has 4 people in mind for these four roles. We have been praying for weeks and the candidates have prayed and considered their roles. We'll be announcing them at the AGM :D
According to the AUSA rules that we follow, nominations are welcome, from any paid up member (membership fee is $2). If you are to nominate someone, it needs to be on paper: signed by you, the nominee, and a seconder. This is to be handed to Elena before the AGM.
WHAT:
This is roughly what will take place in the meeting. Charmaine will lead us to sing a few praise and worship songs, then Elena will be reporting on events that took place in the year since the last AGM, and Sheena will be presenting our financial report. The nominees will be giving speeches at AGM and then voting will take place. After voting we'll pray for the new committee and end the meeting with speeches from Michelle and Jo-Shua.
(We might be doing a potluck/being-a-plate that night in the chapel, but will have to confirm that with you guys in the next newsletter as we don't know if we have enough people who can actually bring food. N don't forget, after that Laserstrike!!!)
This is exciting :-) New core committee members :-)
