Letter to Club Chairpersons

1^st May, 2010

Dear Chairperson,

Re: Application of Subcommittee (May-Oct10)

I am delighted to announce that the Hong Kong Joint School Astronomical Society (HKJSAS) Subcommittees of the next half-year session (May-Oct 2010) are open for application. JSAS is a joint school non-profit making organization with 20 current member schools. To organize better activities, the society calls for the assistance of talented and enthusiastic students. Therefore, I sincerely invite students from your school to join us.

Within the session, two major activities will be held, namely the Hong Kong Secondary School Astronomy Competition 2010 (HKSSAC) and Joint School Astronomy Summer Camp 2010 (JSASC). Subcommittee members will be mainly responsible to help organize these two activities.

After nominated as the subcommittee member of JSAS, students may freely choose to join one of the following departments according to their interest:

Promotion Department: be responsible for designing the souvenir as well as the publications of the Society and promote the coming activities through internet

Program Department: be responsible for organizing games and activities of the Joint School Astronomy Summer Camp 2010

Information Department: be responsible for the academic projects run by the Society, including the HKSSAC.

Coordination Department: be responsible for all coordination of the Society with external News Media, member schools and non-member schools

While a certificate will be rewarded at the end of the society session to thank for subcommittee members’ contributions to the Society, there are a myriad of other benefits being a subcommittee member of JSAS. To name a few, one may:

Gain experience in organizing activities;
Learn to cooperate with people with a diverse background;
Acquire knowledge of astronomy and astrophysics;
Meet new friends and enjoy the invaluable experience; and
Have fun!

Anyone who is currently a S.3-6 student is eligible for applying. Although a special talent is not a must, we especially look for students who show any of the following qualities:

Enthusiastic and eager to learn;
Interested in Astronomy or Astrophysics;
Good at organising mass games and camps;
Expert at Visual Arts or multimedia Production;
Experienced in making and maintaining websites

To apply, one may sign up his/her name online at www.jsas.org.hk/. Applicants are required to attend a short interview after the CENCO meeting.

We warmly welcome you and your schoolmates to join us. Should there be any inquiry, please feel free to contact Carlton Wong, the chairman at 9080 9254, or contact us via hkjsas@gmail.com. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Wong Kak, Carlton
