facebook group for them. I might post one or two here when I get in a better mood.
Next,
Exco Elections Matters
In case any of you is interested but didn't attend the info session. Here is a recap of what have been said:
-All applicants have to be members of Interact (duh)
-There are eight
exco positions available: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Comm Serve Director, Club Service Director, Funding Director, International Understanding Director
- Week 1: Info Session
- Week 2: All applicants are to submit *application form by the end of the week.
- Week 3: Interviews start (
Timeslots to be confirmed)
- Week 4: Release of interview results for successful applicants as
exco elects
- Week 4-5:
Exco elects have to plan and carry out a bonding session for the club. They will be evaluated through the project.
- Week 6: Evaluation of Project &
Exco Elects
- Week 7: Annual General Meeting. The entire Interact Club will elect their new leaders.
- Week 8: Finalisation of
Exco Positions
*
Pls note that all applicants have to submit $2 along with the application forms. This $2 is for applicants to treat the
exco application process seriously, and for them to really consider if they would want to run for
exco before applying.
Okay, as you can see, the
Exco election process is pretty tough and fairly long.
To quote our VP
edmund:
"... a word of advice to all: do think over your decision carefully. Weigh your priorities and commitments, as well as evaluate your capability and capacity to fulfill the duties and bear the responsibilities of an
Exco member. Should you think that yourself lacking in any area whatsoever, kindly take some time to rethink your decision. This is to ensure commitment and minimal dropouts during the course of the election process."
So, if you really feel that you have the passion to lead interact and think you are capable enough to do so, I would strongly encourage you to try for the
exco. Getting into the
exco is uber cool and fun and is a great experience to have! Even for those with low self-confidence, rest assured, your
enthusiasm or capability will surely been seen and will make you successful in the election. You can also learn to gain that confidence over time.
The brightest star will always shine.
Goodluck!

Next, there will be another event that gives a chance for some of you to go overseas! Here:
Rotary club will be organising a 4D3N leadership camp called RYLA(Rotary Youth Leadership Awards). This is basically a training camp for young people to help develop their character and leadership skills. And also for you all to make more friends.
Details: Borneo Rain Forest Resort(Malaysia)
Date: 10-13 June
Cost: RM350 per student/ SGD equivalent (might be further subsidised)
Haha, didnt know Borneo is in Malaysia. Anyway, RYLA camp is pretty interesting and you can meet a loooootttt other people and have a looooottt of fun. And when I say a loooottt, it's really alooootttt. If you are interested, you will have to tell Joan asap as we usually only send and subsidise 3-4 interactors there. Don't ask me why. First come first serve, while stocks last~!
