Curtin Open Day Updates + Past Activities

Hello and greetings dear blog readers,

I hope we can still rake in some decent readership responses. Hello all, and how has your week been? You might have heard of our unit, MRC VAD 57 has been teeming with activities lately. It is all in conjunction with the FAS (First Aid and Safety) Month 2010. Hence, indeed, we have had few things going on, but if in case you have missed any, fear not, we still have a few activities up before the semester ends.

Let's view through the check list of what has happened.

• FAS Month Opening Ceremony
• FAS Month Talk
• FAS Exhibition
• Open Day Booth Sale
• FAS Month Competition and Quiz
• MRC Flag Day Sale - the day where we carry around tins and request for donations
• Fun (yeap, and lots of it)
  

Yeap... that's about it.

Our Curtin Open Day Booth Sale was a huge success. It turned out better than expected and we sold everyhing! Hope all you readers bought something and contributed to our funds ;) Joking. On that day, we sold:

• Lychee Shake (it's lychee in the form of milkshake)
• Plum juice
• Lychee with lime
• Homemade cornflake cookies
• Gulingao (neh the black black one)
• ...and of course, our kick ass Curry Fish/Chicken ball (damn kick ass wei, no joke)
  

There's always more next year. Do not worry, I think our signature, curry fish and meatballs is slowly becoming a Red Crescent must sell item every Open Day. It's going to be a tradition :)

Introducing the FAS Month. Read on to find out what's FAS

Hey there fellow readers,

Our highly anticipated event of the semester is finally going to start. All the committee members have almost work their buttocks off to make this event memorable, worth your time and definitely to impress both new and old members alike.


FAS means First Aid and Safety. And we are allocating a month in year just to teach and spread
first aid knowledge, making good sure that the public and students (means you!) knows how to respond in a case of an emergancy, no need to worry, it involves only simple procedures!
Our theme for the upcoming FAS Month is S.A.F.E. which is an acronym for the words Safety Awareness For Everyone. It might sound cliche but it resonates with the direction of our event.


So, we have provided activities for all the participants throughout the whole month. Yes, it is a one month long event. Below you can find a table that enlists all the activities throughout the whole FAS month. Click to enlarge.

I hope to see all of you there. Do come and support us.
