"To everyone in Singapore, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!"






Hello everyone!

Time flies isn't it?

It's time for Christmas, a time for us YCM panellists to come together to do some catching up.


We just had our December Panel Meet aka Christmas Gathering at National Youth Centre yesterday.

Some updates!

The recruitment drive for a new batch of YCM panellists has begun in October. These potential YCM panellist-wannabees will be notified of their upcoming interviews in January or February 2007.

As for inaugural panellists, some of us will automatically be graduated and inducted into the YCM Alumni, in the new YCM structure.

Wanna know more? Here's what we would expect in the new YCM structure:

Junior Panellist
As freshmen in YCM, Junior Panellists would act as observers and learners of the grantmaking process. They would be taught how to review grants, facilitate panel meetings, interview applicants, etc. This is also a stage where correct YCM values are passed down from Alumni mentors and Senior Panellists.

Senior Panellist
Having been YCM panellists for a year, Senior Panellists would play an active role in running the YCM programme. They would be facilitating the grantmaking process, from meeting applicants to the actual facilitation of panel meetings. Senior Panellists are also more involved in the planning of various YCM activities.

YCM Alumni
The Alumni Members will act as mentors and resource persons to the current panel. They could contribute in any, if not all, of the following additional roles: Mentors, Trainers, Special Projects, Web Moderators.

The *SCAPE Annex Building is coming up before 2007 ends. It will be situated somewhere next to Orchard Cineleisure.

The fire of passion continues burning.

Yeah ya!!! To all of you people out there...have a jolly fun time!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Cheers!
