Another AGM Day

My itinerary of the day:
- North District JC
- Ocean JC

I did not plan to sit down for the lunch but with the motivation from my President friends, I stayed at OJC's function for the dinner and enjoyed the time with my JC good friends.

37th Annual General Meeting and September Fellowship Gathering

A wonderful day!

The AGM has been held successfully at Regal HK Hotel. Many members, PPs, friends from other LOMs attended our function. I was nervous at the beginning as I did not know what I would be challenged by the members but I felt at ease in a while as you were treating me and my Board so well. In fact, I was expecting some more difficult and challenging questions. I did want to explain more about how things were worked out during the year. I was ready to answer your questions. But fortunately / unfortunately, Past Presidents and members were nice to us :)

My "baby girl" was born! Congratulations to President Elect Kathy and the 2010 Board of Directors. Please keep the spirit up and I am sure you will have a successful and fruitful year of 2010 at JC. Light your Passion, Pursue the Excellence.

Lucky that there were four AGMs in the day and three of them were held at Regal HK. HKJTT's was held at basement 2 while VJC and LRJC's were held upstairs. It was really touching when I saw so many NOM Officers and Presidents from LOMs coming to congratulate us during our MFG. Even VJC P Winnie and LRJC P King were present (with their president chains on).

The MFG was held successfully with lots of time for members to mingle around. Many Past Presidents had come and gathered together. Sometimes, we just don't need many programs. It is good enough to meet and chat with each other.

During the event, I had presented long year service award to PPs and members. All people enjoyed the evening!

More AGMs

After church service, I made up my mind to go to Sha Tin JC’s AGM. I only knew that it was held at Regal Riverside at Shatin. Without checking the exact location, I just took train to Shatin. Yet when I got off the train, I suddenly felt that I should get off at “University” station instead. I then quickly went down to the platform again and got on another train. Got off at “University” and I suddenly realized that the hotel at “University” should be Hyatt instead of Regal! I was tired by then and thought I should just go and hire a taxi as I did not want to return to the train again. Really made me crazy!

I went to 3 AGMs in total today: Sha Tin JC at Regal Riverside (HK$80), Apex JC at Royal Garden (HK$100) and City JC at Eaton (HK$40). Thanks P Cammie and P Renee for offering free rides to take me from one point to the other. I will seriously consider to buy a car next year so that I can attend many JC functions on one day.

Annual Report / 9th Board Meeting

Before the meeting, my team was busy packing the annual report. When I looked at it, I felt so proud of being a Jayceette. This year, to save time, we did not send the report for printing. We just sent it out for digital output and ring binding. But the quality of the report is not bad at all. The section on Chapter events’ photos is marvelous. Well done!

Board meeting started at 3.30pm. Though not all board members arrived on time, they had all come at the end. While since we did not have birthday celebration this time, no picture was taken and so we could not capture this full board scene. Right, I realize after doing the bid book and annual report that my board members seldom get together to take pictures. We don’t have a nice team pictures during the year!

We still have a lot of works and projects ahead. The team now works very close together and they all understand the importance of teamwork. It is not too late to discover that we have a kind of unvoiced pact among each other. I can feel the “Shine Like Rubies” spirit from each other.

I stayed at JC office a little while more to clear up some tasks. I then missed the Peninsula JC and Bauhinia JC AGMs.

First personal interview of my life

I remember that I might have being interviewed after I won a musical award when I was young. But that is a long long time ago. So I still treat this HKET interview my first ever interview of my life!

The press supplement will be published on 16 October, the day before our anniversary celebration banquet. Stay tuned!

A hectic day

Busy at work. Crazy at JC.

It’s the day to finalize the annual report. Messages, reports, minutes, activity photos, etc. were not 100% ready for use. Past President Mariana, Immediate Past President Anny and myself worked closely together to review and amend the content of the annual report. Secretary Betty was out for meeting, so that we three took up the responsibility to make sure everything was correct. At around 5pm, everything was done and I just did not want to read the report again as I was afraid that I could continue to spot any mistakes there. Time has come for printing: Time’s up, pens down!

Thanks General Administration team. Special thanks go to Advisor Past President Mariana.

A bit emotional

This year is not easy for me. As a leader in the company, I think my role at JC helps build up more confidence at work. I am also equipped with corporate mind for JC. Yet, both roles are challenging. About JC, I have never thought of so many things. I have to pass one challenge after the other each week. Getting close to AGM and anniversary, I start to lose control of my emotion as I have paid attention to my company work as well. My mind is being torn into two parts. Going crazy a little bit… But if it is not JC, I won’t realize that I have so many other friends who always support and wait for me. I am so touched by their words and messages left on my facebook. Haha, seeing these messages, I become much more emotional. Thank you friends.

2010 Board of Directors candidates interview and examination

I did not have any roles at the 2010 Board of Directors candidates interview nor examination. I just wanted to encourage the members. I bought some drinks to them while they just started the examination, so I could only sit down at the room and mingle with other Election Committee members.

Still nothing to do, I then left the JC office. Before I left, I went to peep through the glass of the door like a mother to the candidates and then went back home.

Meeting & HJC Annual General Meeting

The whole of September is filled with meetings. Had a casual afternoon tea meeting with Jayceette friends at Causeway Bay. I then went to Harbour JC’s AGM at Regal Hong Kong Hotel.

The special thing today was the speech that HJC President Leo said. I can’t agree with him more about the “theory” that we are all members of a voluntary organization, so that we should commit to our roles as nobody forced us to join. Right, maybe we are too tired during the year to move on, yet if we can’t commit in only one year, how we can take up jobs which may take up a lot more times in other areas of our lives.

4th Joint Board Meeting

I know I’ll miss Joint Board Meeting next year. Next Joint Board Meeting will be held in December, which will be the last one for me. I like this kind of “e” meeting, no paper’s around. But honestly, this allows most of us to surf the website. Everyone was looking at his / her own laptop monitor. They were all seemed to be very concentrated but no one knew what they were really doing behind the screen. Funny :P

Accounting and Finance Area Meeting

I admit that I am not a “finance” person. Thank you Advisor for guiding HT along. Even though we ended the meeting late, we were happy to settle most of the area matters. Good, a healthy account is essential to the chapter. Be a JC, we launch great projects, but more importantly, we keep our financial record clean and tidy.

Courtesy Dinner by 2010 NOM Board candidates

It is my first time to attend “courtesy dinner”. Many of my JC friends will continue to take up roles at the National Board next year. The 2010 National Board candidates presented their plans for next year. It was a great time for all National Board and LOM Ps getting together again.

Nearly all LOM Ps attended the dinner, so it’s a good time for us “classmates” to get together. We then went to Sheraton for P Gathering after the dinner.
