Thank you Volunteers!

Dear Volunteers,

We have officially come to the end of the semester's volunteering at NUH! 

On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank you for your commitment and service to the NUH community. I hope that you have enjoyed the volunteering process, despite the minor hiccups that might have appeared along the way. 

Please do join us again for another semester's of volunteering starting in January 2012! There will be a new round of recruitment, so do look out for the announcement on our NVAC NUH Yahoogroups/Facebook/Blog. 

There will not be any volunteering activity during the holidays, but we do have an annual Christmas event organised for the NUH patients. More details will be released at a later date. We hope that you will be able to join us in this event. Do keep a look out for the announcement!

Lastly, just a gentle reminder to all session leaders: Please remember to submit your attendance sheet to your respective Vice Project Director by 19 November. Do refer to your earlier emails for the attached attendance records template. Your Vice Project Directors' email addresses are as follows:
