Welcome to the year of the Tiger!  On behalf of the CAS Board, I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2010.  It promises to be an exciting one for CAS and the Canadian community in Singapore, with many events and socials already scheduled for your fun and enjoyment.

I just returned from a fun week in Toronto and can definitely confirm that Winter Olympic fever has hit Canada harder than my toonie on the Tim Horton’s counter.  Inspiring ads on TV, posters plastered everywhere and the buzz and excitement was truly contagious!  The Canadian 5 pillars have been busy organizing events for you here in Singapore and we will look forward to duplicating the hype.  Bookmark the CAS website and log on often to ensure that you do not miss a single event.  If you are not yet a card-carrying member nor receiving our weekly e-blasts, drop us a line at info@canadians.org.sg and we will include you in on the fun asap.

We hope you are pleased with the new and improved print version of the Maple Leaf Times.  The shorter, newsier format is guaranteed to keep you up to date on anything and everything Canuck-related in Singapore.  We are always in need willing or aspiring writers to fill our pages so if this is something that you find of interest please contacts our editor and you may find your article in the next issue.

In addition, do let us know if you are interested in volunteering some of your time and skills towards helping out with CAS events or assisting us in the office.  We are a fun and dedicated bunch, and as a non-profit association we rely solely on volunteers so we always appreciate and extra set of hands or so helpful ideas.

In line with our ongoing efforts to raise our profile and to work with the local community, and I am pleased to announce CAS’s partnership with SG Cares – a newly launched initiative by NVPC (National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre).    More
information can be found at: www.sgcares.org and look out for our SG Cares article in the upcoming Mar MLT.

Cheers,

Janey Schueller, CAS President

THE MLT IS NOW IN PRINT!

I am happy to say that we are kicking off the new year with a much-improve and new-look Maple Leaf Times. Not only is the MLT back in print but we’re also introducing a complimentary Maple Leaf Times blog that will have 4 feature article from current and previous issues. Check out the blog.

2009 ended on a very positive note as another successful Teddy Bear and Toy Drive wrapped up. You can read about the event and learn more about the Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore (SCAS) in this month’s magazine. If you enjoy looking at the photos please log in to the CAS website’s photo page to see even more photos of this and other CAS events, like the Out and About tour through Sarkies Road, Newton Circus and Scotts Road. All of the photos can be found on the Photo Gallery page.

With the Christmas break behind us, Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, is fast-pproaching. Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays and this year it falls on 14th February, which also happens to be Valentine’s Day, making it a doubly auspicious day. Happy Birthday to all you tigers out there!

I hope you’re happy with the fact that the MLT is back in print and with the many new changes and additions to the website that we’ve made. I’d love to hear from you and would welcome any feedback, so please feel free to share your thoughts by emailing me at: newsletter@canadians.org.sg

Cheers,

Marie Tuxford, Editor
