JCI UC’s Health Awareness Day
2015 JCI Conference of the Americas
May 2015 UPCOMING EVENTS
Introduction
Dear guest, 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 third 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
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.
“Leaders become great, not by their
power. But because of their ability
to empower others.”

On this pleasant evening we had the pleasure
of having our 2015 IPP Melissa Corea as the
second member of JCI UC in the Empty Your Cup
Session. Melissa talked broadly about how to
MAKE UP YOUR SOUL and the importance of
maintaining balance between one’s body,
spirit, and mind. It was remarkable how she did
inspire most of the souls present to take a
deeper look at life as well as the inner self.

GMM March2015
On the 26th of March, 2015 we held our third
General Membership Meeting for this calendar
year. The White Room at Floris Suite Hotel was
neatly set up for the occasion. Each board
member presented their board reports
accordingly indicating the events of current and
upcoming month.
After the project report of Manera mi Bos, No
tin Dos the meeting took an interesting turn
when the following motion was presented by
member Jayleesa Jacobus, and seconded by
member Roxanne Martis-Martina:
“I hereby move, that the project Manera mi
bos no tin dos” to be included in the Plan of
Action of JCI UC for the upcoming three years;
2016, 2017, 2018.”
Immediately afterwards member Shamir
Welvaart presented an amendment to the
motion, stating:
“I would like to amend, that this motion be
executed if a Strategic Partner is present that
contributes funds.”
The amendment was dismissed with three
votes in favor and ten against while the motion
was approved by 12 votes in favor and 1
abstained vote.
It was surely a well conducted meeting by the
Board of Directors chaired by our dear Madam
President, Silvetty de la Paz.

During the days of 9-12 of April 2015, VP
in charge with JCI UC and JCI IOBA made
her official visit. She spent her time equally
with both local organizations. As for JCI UC
there was a board meeting held on Friday
- April 10, 2015. The Board was able to
attain valuable information and
suggestions on how to improve the
running of the organization to its fullest
considering the growth over the years by
the number of members. Moreover, we
had a combined training session and a
social event where the other members
also had the opportunity to interact with
VP Rosetna Martinus. 2015 Junior Chamber International Vice
President Adam Bonarek has been a member of
JCI Michigan, USA since 2002, and has held
multiple roles at the local, state, and national
levels, including as Chief of Staff and Executive
Vice President for JCI Michigan, overseeing
over 1,000 members and 40 chapters. In 2013,
he returned to the local level to serve as
president, and was recognized as one of the
Top 10 Presidents in the USA (out of over 800),
and his home chapter was recognized as the #4
Chapter in the Nation in recognition for their
efforts.
On the 16th of April 2015 the Board had an
amazing opportunity to sit down with Adam
and discussed matters that are of true essence
to JCI UC. During this meeting VP Shurlette
Connor and IPP Melissa Corea promptly
represented the Board of Directors by handling
the following points:
 The meeting structure
 Recruitment process
 JCI UC Constitution & Bylaws

MANERA MI BOS NO TIN DOS has endure for
seven months of intense training and
workshops with the collaboration of our
partners, Fundashon KPEK, Biblioteka
Nashonal Kòrsou, and Toastmasters
International.
On Friday March 20th and Saturday 21st
2015, the participants finally reached to the
point where they had to put in practice
everything they have learned. With an
audience of more or less 60 people these
youngsters shown how they have truly
overcome the barrier to speak in front of an
audience and express themselves based on
facts and good argumentation. We are proud
to recognize the absolute winning group
consisting of Kennen Fullinck, Nerija
Montroos, and Emile Samsom. The group of
Dudley Bodak, Otis van Varsseveld, and
Oliver Kerindongo finished second place.
JCI UC Game Night
Besides the hard work put in our projects and
the execution of our plan of action it is vital to
remain connected to one another as a member.
We are very thankful to VP Shurlette Connor
and IPP Melissa Corea for the job well done
with organizing this event. It was definitely an
effective teambuilding night. We were divided
into smaller groups for each game, this made it
even better, since each member had the
chance to work as a team with different
members.
Everyone present enjoyed the night and are
surely looking forward to more of these type of
events.
JCI UC “Maneramibos,notindos!”
We had our first fundraising on Sunday –
March 29, 2015. We are referring to the UC
Breakfast well thought-out by our Treasurer
Luigi Louisa. He made a marvelous job by
making this project successful and profitable.
Of course we do appreciate all of the other
members who contributed to the success of
this event. It is due to your efforts that we can
continue to run this organization and
continue with our projects.
For the record we sold tickets! WOW,
isn’t that amazing???

In the meanwhile we had our third Empty
your Cup Session given by member Shamir
Welvaart. As known over the years Shamir has
been quite a bartender during our social
events for small and bigger events. He has
become an expert thanks to his many years of
experience working as a bartender. With that
being said, it was a must to let the master
share his secret with us.

In our ONE HOUR SEMINAR we had the expert
of mortgage, Centrale Hypotheek Bank (CHB) in
house represented by Antoinette Leal.
She provided the latest insight concerning
mortgage and provided in depth information
about all the required steps that one must go
through in order to be eligible for a loan.
The assembly was very interactive during the
session and by the end most of us had a clearer
view of what to do or not do in the process to
buy or construct our dream house based on
each one’s personal budget.

also by quality. That being said, we are certain
that all of the members of UC will be exposed
to abundant knowledge, valuable tips, and
experience gained by Silvetty and Nashantara
