note from theT R I U M V I R A T E
Hey heeeeey councilors! Congrats on making it through the first semester!! Hope you enjoyed
working in your respective functions as much as we loved
seeing your awsome output! First semester is always the testing-the-waters stage. In the second
sem, you already know how council works. You're done
testing the waters, capitalizing on what you're good at, what you've learned from your other orgs and sharing it to council. Second sem is the opportunity to explore your
newfound skil ls and challenge yourself. Don't be scared to take
on something outside your comfort zone! It's exactly what being in council is about. Other
than service, the amount of personal growth you can achieve is overwhelming if you put your eggs in the right basket, and I
hope you don't waste your chance in this last semester of the school year to sieze it! Good luck good luck! OWN 'EM FUNCTIONS
greetings!
Love,WesNinaFen
