Launching of new Facebook Group

If you are a member of our current Facebook Group, you will often receive group messages sent by our group admins. However, for normal group member like you who wish to broadcast alumni related news, events or updates (e.g. class/CCA reunion gatherings) to all group members, you would have to approach the group admins for help. In addition, as no notification will be sent, you may miss relevant postings on the (current) Group Wall.

To promote and encourage interactions, discussions and activities within the AJC Community, we have launched a new Facebook Group based on the new group design announced by Facebook last October.

One of the new features offered by the new group is that when any group member post a message on the (new) Group Wall, any other group member (who has allowed group notifications) will also receive an email notification about the new post. This means that any group member will be able to broadcast relevant messages to all group members.

We would like to encourage you to join the new group so as to receive any latest AJC/AJCAA/Alumni related news, events and updates. In addition, the new group also serves as a platform for you to announce any alumni related news, events and updates, reunion with your class/CCA mates, interact with your fellow juniors/seniors, etc. Examples of messages you can post/receive include (but not limited to):

• AJC related news, events and updates


• AJCAA related news, events and updates


• Alumni related news, events and updates (e.g. an award-winning Alumni featured in mass media)


• CCA related news, events and updates (e.g. SYF results)


• Announcement of class reunion gatherings


• Announcement of CCA reunion gatherings


• Recruitment of volunteers for voluntary/charity activities that you are involved in


• Recruitment of members to join an Alumni interest group

Our new Facebook Group can be found at http://www.facebook.com/groups/ajcaa. (Alternatively, search for "Anderson Junior College Alumni Association".) Click on "Ask to Join Group" to send a request to join the group. (The group admins will confirm your request shortly.)

In addition, the group email for the new group is ajcaa@groups.facebook.com. After you joined the group, emailing this group email address will also generate a post to the group's Wall. This allows you to easily update the group's Wall via any browser/email client.

(Please be responsible in your posting. Any offensive post will be deleted and the poster will be banned/removed from the group.)

If you have any queries about the new group, please feel free to contact us (info@ajcaa.com).
