Social Activities Coordinator - Stevie!

Being the Social Activities Coordinator has been a precious chance and experience for part of my life. The reason why I decide to be in the committee is because COSDU has been playing a BIG part in my path of faith.  I really want to express my thankfulness to COSDU in anyway that I can give to show my appreciation and love, and share it with the people in COSDU.

Few weeks before the AGM last year, I was thinking to take the Social-Activity Coordinator position but was still unsure because my time was packed and still considering if giving a commitment to COSDU can still be fitted inside my bag. But, I always believe in to trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding and worries, He sure will make a way for me J

The role of a Social Activities Coordinator is neither than adding the FUN in COSDU! Organising activities that will tighten the relation among us, making everyone relax and enjoy the moment that we are sharing together.

So, my responsibilities as a Social-Activity Coordinator are as below:

            ·         Welcome Food and Games for each beginning of the semester

            ·         Weekly Friday dinner after sessions

            ·         Annual Sports Day

            ·         Annual Scavenger Hunt

           
See, It’s as easy as an ABC! But still there are some parts that you have to take precautions on.           
           
            ü During the weekly dinner, it is preferably that the place to eat is near to where your
                session is located, and remember to book it 2 or 3 days in advanced, because our
                session is on Friday night, put in mind that restaurants and other food places will be
                packed too. 

         You have the privileged to choose the place that you and the members may like,
         make sure the size of the place that can fit everyone and reasonable price. Always
         check the prediction amount of people coming, normally 25-30 pax is safe.

           
            ü Two annual events that is given for you to organise are the Scavenger Hunt
                (Semester 1) and Sports Day (Semester 2). For these, you need to organise and
                plan it in advanced. 
                Sports Day will require you to plan some sports & games to play, prepare the
                equipment, and choose your preferred location. Usually this includes arranging lunch
                as the activity will take around more than half day. 

                Scavenger Hunt will need you to research places around the city or places around 

                Melbourne, it is a good way to let people explore the wonderful or hidden places in
                Melbourne. 

                These two events will need you to work together and helps from your committees,
                such as applying for grants, food and permission form to be submitted.

Outside from the listed activities, you may do any extra ideas and plan for everyone. Movie nights, ice skating, arrange a go together for some annual events happening in Melbourne, Royal Melbourne Shows, Mt Dandenong Tulip Festival, Moomba Festival etc.

This wonderful experience of mine shows me that God is and will always be with us, with the given 9 wonderful other committees that will always be a supporter and helping hand for you. I love to see people smiles, so go and do something that makes everyone happy and see them smiles!

If you like having FUN and believe that you will enjoy it, go for this Social Activity Role!

Keep smile and have faith!
