Welcome to the year of the Rabbit! What better way to start off this new lunar year than with a reprisal of a great rabbit story from last year...
A bear and a rabbit are taking a dump in the forest. The bear asks the rabbit if it minds getting poo on its fur. The rabbit says no. So the bear picks up the rabbit and wipes its bottom with it.
ELECTIONS
After nominations, exactly 7 brothers and sisters were nominated: Adeline, Amanda, Barry, Elaine, Jeremy, Kevin Chen and Michelle. Our new EW exco was thus confirmed without the need to go ahead with voting. Thank you all for your prayers and support, by way of your presence and otherwise!
Let us also take a moment to thank our ex-exco, comprising Adeline, Amanda, Barry, Deborah, Elaine, Isaac, Michelle and Sebby. Deborah steps down to concentrate on YEW, Isaac to continue leading the NUS Catholic Students' Society, and Sebby to focus on being Catechist Coordinator. It has been an amazing and blessed journey in the last 2 years, and we thank God for showering us with so much more than we can ever recall and be thankful for.
We ask you to continue keeping the new exco in your prayers as they discern their roles and God's direction for the EW community. This EW community works only because of all your support and prayers and efforts. So thank you, and thank God for all the blessings He has showered on us in the past 2 years!
