A WORD FROM OUR CHAIR Dear ladies, In this month’s edition we are very proud to show you where the money raised from the SILC Bazaar last November has been allocated. Our chosen organisations were thoroughly vetted and their requirements discussed. As you will see from the photos, our help brought joy to many.
Being a committee member is very rewarding. Yes, there is a time outlay but the upside of being involved in a fun organisation, working as part of a team to make a difference as well as learning new things and meeting new people, far outweighs any perceived negatives.
So, a new year always brings changes and in just 3 short months it will be our AGM which means that a new committee will need to be voted in.
Every year, like all the ladies clubs here, we struggle to get committee members in the key positions, especially the role of Chair. Last year, I agreed to do another term or else expedite the closing of SILC. I sincerely hope that we won’t be in the same situation this year, as it will be truly very sad if SILC were to close.
For the last few months the committee has been working with a much reduced number due to some of our committee members moving from Thailand or full time permanent jobs being secured. So if you are considering getting more involved in the committee, but don’t want to commit to the full term just yet, then you can always come and join us for a few months first to get a good understanding of all the roles and what is involved. We would certainly appreciate the help!
So don’t be shy! Come chat with me or any of the other committee members about taking up a role.
