Introduction Dear guests, members, and senators,

By means of this newsletter we would like to share

with you all that the organization of JCI UC has been

and will be doing throughout the course of this year.

This is the sixth edition of our bulletin named after

U-C US, which is a combination of our name and

slogan “JCI U-C US CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE. It is

the intention to distribute a newssheet on a bi-

monthly basis. In case you missed out one of our

events, meetings, or trainings you will be able to

easily catch up thanks to this new initiative.

This year is another great opportunity to continue

with the JCI movement by creating even greater

impact within our community, as well as

internationally, and hopefully around the world.

Hence we cannot stop investing in ourselves. To

become day by day a better leader than yesterday

we certainly believe that one must:

LEARN AND LEAD

“U-C US

creating positive

change.”

Vision

To be the leading global network of young active

citizens.

Mission

To provide development opportunities that

empower young people to create positive change.

Values

We believe…

That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to

human life,

That the brotherhood of man transcends the

sovereignty of nations,

That economic justice can best be won by free men

through free enterprise,

That government should be of laws rather than of

men,

That earth’s great treasure lies in human

personality,

And that service to humanity is the best work of life.

“have the courage to follow your heart

and intuition. They somehow know

what you truly want to become.

Steve Jobs

General Membership Meeting

(GMM)

Members, Senators, and guests

gather once a month to discuss

business concerning the

organization and ongoing

community projects.

In addition to community projects

JCI is known for its empowering

trainings given to all and sundry for

a relative price.

The entrepreneurship training was in

this case no exception. Curaçao has

recently been the factory for many

young and talented entrepreneurs.

In order to support this growing

group of tycoons JCI UC dedicated a

day with three informative

presentations presented by Steven

Damiana (Chamber of Commerce

Curaçao), Nevita Mezas (The

Business Connection), and Richney

Philipa (Quality of Life Consultancy).

Those who attended this training

had a perfect moment to lay down

their concerns regarding current

business opportunities and ask

relating questions.

Place: Primas Restaurant I Date: 24 October 15

On October 24th, 2015 JCI UC held a

pleasant evening for its guests at Primas

Restaurants, hosted by Luigi Louisa.

Senator Steven Louisa gave a brief

presentation about JCI International and

the role we have as a local organization

while being part of this huge

organization. Afterwards, the public was

properly enlighten by Member Naesha

Zunder and VP Vanja Wanga about the

experience of being a member and the

different projects carried out in the

course of time.

The night ended after VP Shurlette

Connor engaged guests and members

with a few thought-provoking games. A

Q&A session was also included, where

all guests had the opportunity mingle

with current members and ask

questions.

365 days may seem a lot. But when

your hands are full the days fly by in

a blink of an eye.

Board 2015 has reached its last

General Membership Meeting

(GMM) chaired by President Silvetty

de la Paz. It was an emotional

evening where board members gave

a recap of their experience

throughout the year and shared

words of wisdom with the incoming

board.

Unlike the previous GMMs this one

had a different notch regarding the

popular One Hour Session. Board

members joined the assembly for an

informal yet interactive session,

where different attention-grabbing

topics were discussed. Topics

discussed were mainly:

What is your opinion in regards

to the situation in Paris and the

way it is being brought forward

through media channels?

(Anti) Social Media

Would you give your phone at

the entrance of a JCI event in a

secured box?

We dearly thank 2015 for all the

challenges as these were purely

opportunities to grow and become

even stronger as person,

organization, and active citizens!

GGM November 2016

The end is just the

beginning

“All you need is

a positive

ATTITUDE!”

365 days


Looking back at a phenomenal year we

definitely had to organize a Year End

Celebration Party. On December 11th

2015 JCI UC members gathered for a

magic night, hosted by Treasurer Luigi

Louisa.

Through 19:00 till 23:00 members were

delighted with relaxing program. The

committee in charge gave out funny titled

awards to a few members in appreciation

for the memorable moments throughout

2015.

Awards

Given to member Shamir Welvaart

“Nada no ta problema” Award

Given to member Melwin Smith

‘David Copperfield’ Award

In between all the fun and amusement VP

Vanja Wanga was taken by surprised

when President Silvetty de la Paz came

forward with an award for most

outstanding member along with a

beautiful gift.

After an entertaining program members

were set to enjoy a mouthwatering

dinner.

JCI UC’s Year End Celebration 2015


2016 JCI UC Board of 2016

It is with great pleasure that we present

to you our new Board of Directors for

the calendar year of 2016.

After an inspiring speech from each

one of these members, JCI UC casted

their votes and elected the new officers

that will lead and embrace this

organization for the betterment of its

existence.

2016 Board has a very simple approach

in regards to the upcoming 12 months

they are about to face: TEAMWORK.

According to the President, UC will go

back to basics, where everyone was

socially more involved with one

another in order to enhance

performance of each single member.

Every member shall be participating in

at least one project to contribute to the

overall progress of the organization by

its vision and mission.

We wish the Incoming Board of 2016

nothing but the best during their

journey as local officers. Rather than a

challenge this is a great opportunity to

grow as a person and within JCI. This

growth will eventually be noticeable in

your actions in the near future.
