HELLO EVERYONE,
DURING THE HOLIDAYS’S HOPE ALL OF YOU HAD A NICE ONE. WOW! WEEKS AGO WE HAD SNOWING COMING DOWN AND THOUGHT NEVER STOPS. I AM SURE EVERYONE LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING.
GOOD JOB AND WELL DONE!!
Congratulation to all the committees and crews for working so hard to provide exciting events in 2009. Can you make the events and activities in our good old club more fantastic and exciting in 2010? Can you make something more creative in any events? PLEASE involved and help our committees and crews to make 2010 greatest year ever in P.A.D.!
SPEAKING OUT! (FOR ACTIVE MEMBERS ONLY)
Do you know that there are about ninety (90) active members in P.A.D.? Our meeting records show that about only one-third (1/3) of active members attended the monthly meetings regularly in 2010. We understand that some of you were busy with somewhere else, but our officers are very concern with P.A.D.’s future. We are faced with some shortage of “willful” active members, who would like to run the officers and involved the current club functions. We are being asked to attend the meeting more regularly in order to benefit your experience and will understand how our club operates in a fashion way! Our by-laws (Article V, Section 3) states that an active member shall be eligible to hold the office if he/she attends at least six meetings a year. Also, we recommend you to refresh your memory by reading the by-laws. Please check our Website.
CAN YOU MAKE A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION BY ATTENDING THE MONTHY MEETING MORE OFTEN?
We know that the meeting is usually boring, but it is still very important anyway. This is your club where our deaf culture thrives for so many years! If you don’t like the way the club runs, you can speak out because we are in free country. Remember that our officers have a lot of helping hands to prepare the club functions. If you are not willing to attend that meeting anymore or will not run in office in future, then you can be an Associate member and our members will understand your intention without any hard feelings! Please don’t point your finger to anyone whom you know that he/she does not attend the meeting regularly. Just point yourself and please try to be patience and attend those boring and important meetings! We are P.A.D. brothers and sister! We have to work and play together.
REMIND YOU TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES FOR 2010!
