Dear Senator, dear reader, We are reaching the end of and an exciting year, and we can already see that it starts to get busy with activities for festivities related to Christmas and the New Year. As a Board of Directors we are looking at our activities and how to proceed towards the next year to continue with achieving our objectives working together with you, our fellow senators and young JCI members. I am pleased to know that we did not have to deal with any significant natural disasters in these past weeks. My thoughts are still with all who are recovering from the devastations we have seen and experienced coming from these natural disasters a few months ago in our region. I do hope that the recovery of all affected is moving into the right direction and that their lives are back to normal. My prayers are with all of them and I am asking of all who can help, to continue to give a helping hand to make the lives of these groups of people better. As we have mentioned in our latest newsletter, the 2017 JCI World Congress was executed in Amsterdam the Netherlands from the 6th to the 10th of November. I have participated in this great event with fellow Senators and it was truly an event with many highlights. To name a few of these highlights; The visit of Her Royal highness Crown Princess of Japan Kōtaishi Naruhito Shinnōhi Masako, a very special keynote by the seventh UN Secretary General and 2001 Nobel Piece Price winner Kofi Annan, The JCI Nations night, The Senate dinner on the river, the Joint Boards meeting, the Japan night, the election of the 2018 JCI President Marc Brian Lim from the Philippines and the 2018 Board members. I was very happy to see many Senators and members from our region participating in the World congress. I thank you, our fellow senators who have participated and for the representation of our Association. To the young members; thank you for your active participation and the will to continuously develop yourselves to continue to create positive change in our communities. I am asking all of you to share your experiences and the acquired knowledge with those who could not attend this World Congress. The Conference Organizing Committee, JCI the Netherlands and their Senators organized a very good event for all of JCI. With the experiences we have had, I can say that we all have had a good time meeting friends, making new friends and enjoying Amsterdam. Furthermore, I congratulate all the 2018 JCI Board Members and all their National Organizations, Local Organizations, friends and Families for their election and the contributions they have made to support all these newly elected officers. My appreciation and congratulations also goes out to all the members and Senators who have served our organizations and associations in the different Boards of Directors these past months, including JCI Board Members of 2017. You have truly contributed to the positive developments within JCI and our Association and the positive changes we are realizing in the different communities in the different countries in our region and around the World. In these past weeks our fellow senators from the different senates kept working hard developing activities as you will see in this newsletter and I congratulate all of you with your successes. Going forward I want to ask of you to keep supporting our objectives. Keep supporting the development of the young people by guiding, mentoring, and sharing your experiences with them in order for them to become better and bring about positive changes in our communities. I am wishing for you to have an enjoyable time preparing for the festivities in December and to have a good time celebrating with friends and family. Let us also continue demonstrating that “Earth’s great treasure lies in hum personality; and that Service to humanity is the Best Work of Life!
