Exco Planning Camp (EPC) 2008/2009

EPC? What is EPC ? Who attends EPC and why is EPC important in CSSUPM?

Okay, here it is. EPC stands for Exco Planning Camp which assembles all the current exco for them to plan ahead of what activities and programs they are going to organize. Apart from that, producing the theme for CSSUPM was the main concern among exco's of this batch as they want to relate spirituality and relationship between members with the proposal of the new theme.
And with much confidence and proud, we, the Exco members of 2008/2009 would like to announce the new theme for CSSUPM...

In Faith we grow,
With love we serve...

Okay, this is the theme. Sounds catchy but apart from coming up with a theme which is fully related with CSSUPM, we the exco's do have our aim behind all the words mentioned in the theme.
We also lined up a list of activities to be carried out during the whole next semester. Hopefully with God's grace, we can carry out whatever activities that is planned and bring a huge impact on CSSUPM and it's members.
Hmm, so without futher ado, here's somesort of report on our 3 days, 2 night stay in IJ Sisters Bungalow in Seremban. All the exco's were present ( Dominic, Devebra, Jacklyn Janeris, Olivia, Aliziana, Sharon, Nova, Percival, Gerald, Garrie McNeill, Purshyla, Gary Ariwn) except for 2 of them ( Pamela and Janice) due to unavoidable circumstances. We had one of the Alumni who were together with us for the whole 3 days. He was the Ex Cell Grouo Coordinator as well ad the Ex President of CSSUPM back then. He is none other than our Mr David also known as UPM's Elvis Presley.

Aite, all went back with sweet memories and bulk of responsibilities at their back. Hope there will be major changes as well as our effort to bring back more members in CSSUPM will come true! For that, ample of support and dedication is much needed from the rest of the CSSUPM members as well as from the Alumni. Pray for the best in the coming sem for CSSUPM !

For that...

In Faith we grow,
With love we serve...
