Proper procedures of the meeting were observed as we don’t want to waste a single second dedicated by our members.  The agenda has five (5) key items that were discussed. The first agenda was  the Induction for 2012 which was handled by JCI Member Ramil Montealto, second was the Taiwan Trip and other future trips which was discussed by JCI Member Michael Brian Yu, Blood Drive partnership with MCCI which was discussed by JCI Member Cyruz Honoridez, YLEA (Youth Leadership Excellence Award) presented by JCI Member Michaelson Oyap, Korean Visitors and JCI Mandaue Website to be discussed by JCI Member Paul Villacorta, Buntis Day by JCI Member Janelle Ormoc and lastly JCI Mandaue video shoot by JCI Member Darrell Cerna.

Just a short update what happened, for our Induction this March 09, 2012 we are still looking for partners and sponsors if you are a sponsor and you would like to sponsor on our projects, please do send us an email at officers@jcimandaue.org with your intent to become one of our partners or sponsors.  For the Taiwan trip the flight schedules were being finalized and JCI Mandaue will be going back to Taiwan to visit our sister chapter JCI Sanchong and this time some JCI WoMandaue members will be coming along with us. Our roles and responsibilities for this incoming Blood Drive this February 25, 2012 will be food distribution, registration and provide assistance to the donor. Now for the YLEA, were looking Benedicto College  as the prospect venue for Mandaue, were looking for sponsors who would like to sponsor for the food and were partnering up with DepEd to tap for schools in Mandaue City.  Now for the Korean Visitors and JCI Website update, Paul will be sending his update via email. Buntis Day will not push though. For the video shoot this is going to be excited as this is going to be exciting the same with our previous video during the 48th Induction and Turnover Ceremony of JCI Mandaue, scripts were updated new shooting date will be posted.

The meeting was so organized that it ended earlier than the time expected which gives our members a chance to network themselves or the business they were doing.  The GMM was also attended by past presidents JCI Members Marc Phua and Jon Castanares.

We encourage everyone to join us on our Blood Drive partnership event with MCCI this February 25, 2012 at Pacific Mall Mandaue ( formerly Super Metro Mandaue ) at around 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. The project chair for this event is our new JCI Member Anton Almeda.

The project is also inline with the JCI goals and objectives, which is to attract new members, keep current members by making them involve, providing a positive profile to the community, attracting sponsors and partners and to get support. JCI Womandaue is now ready to take the challenge and live the JCI Creed.  Now we invite you to witness the induction of JCI Womandaue this March 9, 2012 , 6PM at Oakridge Pavilion.

During the event we were able to stage our live streaming as part of our innovative program for our chapter and we believe that we are the first one to broadcast a live streaming of the event. You can watch a portion of the clip on our live page. As much as these photos below will speak for the success itself, we would like to thank JCI Member Darrell Cerna for sharing a momentous captured moment from the event.

The Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry supported the Blood Letting project of ABS-CBN for the Philippine Red Cross Blood Bank at the Pacific Mall Mandaue.  Now it is an opportunity for us, JCI Mandaue to be invited as an Event Partner. The event was widely supported by many Mandauehanons.

This year, the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry was invited again by Philippine Red Cross for another Blood Letting activity in order to sustain the blood supply of the Blood Bank for the patients in Cebu.

With this, the JCI Mandaue will support this worthy endeavor. The Blood Letting event will be open from 9:00am to 5:00pm on February 25, 2012 at Pacific Mall -Mandaue.

Read the letter we receive.

Last year, in partnership with ABS-CBN and in coordination with Philippine Red Cross,  we launched the Kapamilya Bloodletting (Bleed for Life) during the MBM 2011 celebration , the event was successful with a total collection of 110 units or 49,500 cc of blood.

Presently, the Blood Center is in need of blood in order to sustain the quality of blood supply to provide the blood needs of the patients and to save lives.

In line with the Eastern Visayas Regional Blood Center of the Philippine Red Cross efforts to serve more patients in the hospitals, we continue to conduct blood letting activities that aims in helping solve the depleting blood supply in the hospitals, it is likewise campaigned for personal health benefits of donors-those who regularly donate blood, according to recent studies have a lower risk for heart disease.

In this regard, we would like to invite your company /organization to be part of this project by becoming an Event Partner. As such we would like to request  to assist the medical staff in the registration of donors, to encourage our members to help by donating blood  and also help in the distribution of food to the medical staff. In exchange, we may display your collaterals at the venue for our organization event documentation.

Bellow is the memo that we have sent to our members ecouraging them to help on this project also.

Taiwan is shaped like a leaf that is narrow at both ends. It lies off the southeastern coast of mainland Asia, across the Taiwan Strait from China– an island on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean. To the north lies Japan; to the south is the Philippines. Many airlines fly to Taiwan, helping make it the perfect travel destination.

Taipei is located in the Taipei basin of northern Taiwan, and it is Taiwan’s capital. The cultural kaleidoscope of Taiwan’s capital city pulses wherever you go. Incense-veiled temples dating back to dynastic times blend seamlessly with a neon street life of a decidedly more modern era. Taipei has dozens of world-class restaurants where gourmets can sample the best regional Chinese cuisines; and for the gourmand, there are plenty of night markets serving up scrumptious evening snacks in an environment of chaotic excitement and fun.

Registration Fee:
US$ 420 – until 01/31/2012
US$ 450 – until 08/31/2012
US$ 500 – until 11/23/2012

Imagine you have the ability to change the world. What would such a world look like? Few have the ability to change the course of history, but through a combination of courageous acts, we can all influence change. JCI members are young people who choose to influence change through identifying problems in their communities and by working with their peers, partners, civil society organizations and governments to find creative solutions to those problems. JCI has designated the month of March, a JCI Impact Month. Use this month to empower others in your community to take responsibility for the success of their hometowns and to use positive change to transform their lives and the world around them. The achievements made by young active citizens with shared values and common goals are nearly beyond belief.

The history of the world is full of young active citizens who through their actions have impacted the world. On May 20, 1927, Charles Lindbergh, a member of JCI USA embarked on the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris. Charles Lindbergh impacted the world.

The legendary footballer Pelé of Brazil, watched his father cry as Brazil lost the World Cup to Uruguay in 1950 and told his father “Do not worry, one day I will win it.” Pelé went on to win 3 World Cups and transformed the game of football. During the civil war in Nigeria in 1969, a ceasefire was declared between warring factions because Pelé was playing a soccer game in Lagos, Nigeria.

Recently, Weal Ghonim and young people in Egypt, armed with computers and the Internet, were able to take the future of their nation into their own hands and generate a wave of change that spread throughout the region. All these people were young, had a vision and were willing to invite other people to share in their passion for democracy and positive change.

JCI provides development opportunities that empower young people in more than 100 countries to create positive change. These nearly 200,000 young active citizens are the heroes of our time, taking on the challenge of transforming communities and impacting lives. But it takes more than 200,000 members to create the impact we wish to see in our world.

We must continue to reach out to other young people and help them embrace their ability to make an impact. What one individual cannot accomplish alone, two or more people with a shared vision can achieve together. If you believe in your ability to make a difference, if you believe in the mission of JCI, then you must ask one person today to join you in your quest to change the world.

Here is a great way to guide someone to JCI today:

• Begin by asking a friend, a neighbor or a colleague aged 18 – 40 what they feel are some of the challenges your community faces?
• Ask them who is doing something about these challenges?
• What they are doing about the community challenges?
• If they had an opportunity to solve these problems would they be happy and willing to do something?
• Tell them JCI offers them the opportunity to create a positive impact.
• Invite them to JCI meeting, event or project activity and let them see the impact for themselves.

You have just given one person an opportunity to create positive change. Increasing the global impact of JCI just takes one conversation.

Throughout the month of March, JCI President Kentaro Harada will challenge you to go out and impact the world, by asking one person to join JCI. In doing so, you will double our impact. Imagine what we could create if each one us understood that growth is not just a number, it is an increase in our ability to accomplish the JCI Mission.

Tell us how you are taking action this month to make an impact on JCI’s Facebook page .

Share your actions with other JCI members through the Action Shots photo contest.

An expected number of 30 patients are now ready for screening. Tomorrow 2007 JCI Mandaue President Dr. Alain Senerpida, JCI Member Dr. Rommel and JCI Member Mark Chang will follow on this Stream Smiles mission.

JCI Mandaue bids farewell to a dear friend and one of the most admired Past President (2001) of JCI Mandaue, JCI Senator Julius “Joy” Ouano, who joined our Creator last Sunday, the 21st of November. To those who wish to pay their final respects, he lies in state at St. Peter’s Memorial Chapel in Imus, Cebu City.  Interment will be on Saturday, November 27, at 2pm at St Joseph Parish, Mabolo, Cebu City.

Fare Thee Well JCI Sen. Joy Ouano!
