Spring recruitment: first steps
Today we had second meeting of recruitment team. And I can say that it was really great idea to organize a team separate from EB for doing all this marketing part of recruitment. Today we have our first results. This week we were negotiating with youth and student medias about putting information about organization and recruitment to their nearest releases. And we already have several positive answers. And I am extremely happy from the fact that this recruitment will be the first with media coverage in media.
It is really cool that people start understand that the more they give to AIESEC, the more they get. And I want to say thanks to all those recruitment team members for their passion for development. I am sure this experience will help them to get to know more people in our local committee which will be of a great use in the future while working in different projects.
Next week we will be continuing our negotiation with internet portals and youth medias and also there will be another objective of dealing with logistics for helding AIESEC days, Discussion Clubs and our campus promo campaign.
Wait for more updates in the nearest time.

A period of many challenges lies ahead
It was time when I thought that all the difficulties and workload are already forgotten and till the end of the term there won't be so many work to do.
But I was terribly wrong. Very interesting time is coming: project relalization, recruitment, elections, transition, new project planning, new project starting, planning for the next year.
I can sense that next few month will be very interesting, everyday will bring something new and unexpectable. I anticipate all those learning opportunities life is bringing to me and people around me in this months.
And that is what cool about AIESEC. You often don't know what will new month bring to you. You don't spend time on planning a lot of stuff for a long time ahead. You plan short term and then do the stuff. Sometimes it brings not the best results and huge mistakes are made... But that is also why AIESEC is so cool.
I would with every AIESECer to fill what it is to work as Executive Board member and all those priorities changes and challenges in every single day.
Enjoying experience...

New Year Celebration
I wish to tell you how we greeted the upcoming 2007 year and told goodbye to the memorable and, for sure, happy 2006.
Our party started on Saturday, Dec, 30 when we all came together to buy food for the celebration. You may wonder how shopping may be a beginning of a party, but after the first time you go shopping with crazy AIESECers you'll realize that it is. Any shopping becomes fun rather than a chore. But, well, let's come to the New Year Eve and the first day of the New 2007 year.
BTW, many thnx to Olya Kudinenko and her parents for hosting and feeding us:), Katyusha for her unforgettable pie and cake, and our New Year tree and Alyona for our contests, logistics (you're a napkin genious:)) and music.
When we came together at 10 p.m. on Sunday all we needed to do was just to serve the dinner, create a New Year Tree and find a way not to miss the President's speech and celebrate the NY.
There were 9 of us:Alyona, Katya, Slavik, Olya Kudinenko, Anton, Vitalik, Oksa, Maks and me, spending that wonderful night together.
After almost missing the first minute of the year:), we danced, played cool games (you should have seen Alyona showing "automation" and me - "Mentos":), Katya working as an artist, our boys having a nice time taking clothes-pegs off our girls and other amazing unforgettable moments). We ended up playing "bitches-bitches" around 5 a.m. and then singing and chatting in the cozy kitchen eating that superficial French-Soviet meat :)

Our second day of celebration was no less enjoyable. It started at around 12 a.m. (hah, not really a time to start a day, but it was Jan, 1 ) when we finally tried the second half of that enormous amount of food we bought and decision-making on what movie to watch and where. After 2 hours of dressing-ups, jokes, chats we decided to go to Brovary:) Yes, it was an unexpected decision for all of us, but Maks was so convincing and hospitable, that we could not but agree.
We had a wonderful time watching "Zhara" at the "Terminal" and then meeting Anechka Tkachenko andOlya Kuplivanchuk, who decided to celebrate this New Year in a train and chose Odessa-Kiev and then joined us in our trip to Brovary. Since we had almost 1,5 hrs before skating, Maks invited us to his place, where we had a wonderful lunch thnx to his parents.
Well, this is how it was: amazing, outstanding, memorable, enjoyable. I hope, you all also had a cute celebration.
Cheers!
Olya
