Weekly updates #12

Dear Exco,

Our night cycling is this evening. If you all can make it, please attend to show your support. Me and Siauhui will be there.

Believe you all have received Siauhui’s email on what she has done in building the AJCAA blog. Please support accordingly by providing more photos and writeups.

We’ll discuss more on the follow up actions when the minutes and draft presentation (for the principal’s tea session) is ready.

Have a great weekend.

Best regards,

Keith

The awards are meant to assist former students of AJC who require financial assistance for their full-time undergraduate studies. The institution of the award amplifies the college motto of "Non Mihi Solum" where members of the AJC family step forward to help out a fellow member in need.
