The New Chairman


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).
