Dear SilverHairsClub members,<\/p>\n

Since 2005, SilverHairsClub has been running almost without much changes since day 1.\u00a0 However, I have since become very busy with my work schedule and travel.\u00a0 As you know, I have been looking for someone to take over the running of SHC.\u00a0 This has not been forthcoming, and in mid Aug 2013, I have decided to pass the operations and most of the management of SHC to a committee.\u00a0 The Club invited members to come join the committee, and a few members responded.\u00a0 As of Aug 2013, the committee was formed.\u00a0 This decision was taken after a brainstorm meeting on how to set up the SHC committee.\u00a0 The thinking and planning are all documented and reported in the Club’s forum.<\/p>\n

The committee will manage the Club, instead of under a single person, myself.\u00a0 A committee might be slower in response, but I believe it will be more efficient.\u00a0 I hope to see more imagination and great creativity in the way, SHC runs.\u00a0 Our aim is to have between 7 to 9 members in the Committee, under an elected Chairman.\u00a0 This position of Chairman will be selected by the committee members.\u00a0 A new Chairman will be decided on 01 Feb 2014.\u00a0 Currently, we have only 5 committee members, namely Lily Ho, Caroline Gee, Geraldine Ting and Dolly Lim and myself.\u00a0 While the committee will run the Club, each committee member has a specific role.\u00a0 The current committee has a tenure of 2 years from mid Aug 2013.<\/p>\n

I like to elaborate on the roles.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Geraldine Ting<\/strong> – this role aims to promote and increase website readership and participation of SilverHairsClub.com.\u00a0 We have a readership counter, at the bottom of the website.\u00a0 The Club leaves it to her imagination and creativity as to how to increase readership and participation.<\/p>\n

Geraldine Ting also takes over the role of media contact.\u00a0 She will be the sole contact with the media, and this role aims to promote SilverHairsClub to the public and external organisations.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Dolly Lim<\/strong> – this role is to increase our “One member, and one EO activity” target.\u00a0 I like to make it clear that this role does not require the committee member to organise activities, although she may organise EO activities, as an individual member.\u00a0 Again, the success of this role is depended on creativity and imagination.\u00a0 It also depends on the support of all members.\u00a0 If you have not organised an EO activity before, please speak with Dolly.\u00a0 The monthly gathering is a strictly EO event. \u00a0EO events are strictly for members only. Something might just pop up.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Caroline Gee<\/strong> – this role is to increase and promote EC activities.\u00a0 Many members have their own hobbies and interests.\u00a0 If you organise an activity to share with other members and your friends, this is an EC activity.\u00a0 EC activities are generally left to the imagination and creativity of each individual member.\u00a0 If you wish, to share with other Singapore Silverhairs, your interests, organise an EC event or speak with Caroline Gee.\u00a0 EC events allows you to interconnect your non-member friends with your newly found SHC member.\u00a0 The aim here is to identify and encourage members to share their private interests, eg potlucks, crafts, tea sessions, etc.<\/p>\n

Caroline is also the SHC committee secretary.\u00a0 The Club committee meets once a month.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Lily Ho<\/strong> – this role requires the person to moderate, approve and resolve issues within the content of the SHC forum.\u00a0 Lily can delete and moderate or change any text in the forum, with special emphasis on the club taboos and other current guidelines.\u00a0 Lily jagas all spams and illegal entries in the Club.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Terence Seah – the current Chairman.\u00a0 As agreed at the brainstorm committee meeting, this role will be appointed by the committee members, the next being 1 Feb 2014.\u00a0 I shall give as much of the decision making processes to the 4 members of the committee.\u00a0 I shall still continue to manage the PaperClips project, the Men’s night and the Business round table which have yet to kick up.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 The 3 other roles to engage non-active members, finance projects and corporate membership are still waiting for someone to hands up. More details later.<\/p>\n

So, please welcome the new committee members, support them and speak with them.\u00a0 They have different ideas on how to manage the club, besides each of them having their own style of speaking and thinking.\u00a0 Let’s give the committee a chance to work, for the next two years.<\/p>\n
