Cameal Liu is the newly elected Chairman for Camperdown from the AGM 4 Oct 2009. She can't talk right now but I am sure she will give everyone her new direction soon.
Peter Wong took a step back to be the coordinator. Barry Wong is now the secretary after being the coordinator for many years.
I picked up yet another memorable movie quote from Evan Almighty (2007) last night. God (Morgan Freeman): Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
A position in the committee was never meant to be a chance to demonstrate one's talent or skill. It is an opportunity to serve and to grow into holiness. To serve God, to serve man and to serve oneself can be very blurry at times and requires a lot of prayers for discernment.
A big thank you to Tony Chau who was serving as the secretary for the last 3 years (since 2006).

Congratulations to all!
Dear brothers and sisters,
Thank you for electing me as your Chairperson. I know I have big shoes to fill, as all the previous Chairpersons have made great contributions over the years, building and maintaining this community, filled with God's love.
Along with my fellow committee members, we will work together under the leadership of our President Bernard Yau, to hopefully bring us closer to the church, the Lord and closer to each other.
But, without the guidance of the Lord, without the permission of Sydney Diocese, withoout the help of St. Joseph Parish and our visiting preists, without your prayer and support, we will not be able to achieve these.
Please have our community in your prayers. May the Lord guide us through with His continue blessings.
Cameal
