The beginning of a new era ...

From the President of AIESEC Pärnu 2006/07.

Good evening members of AIESEC Pärnu, its friends and fans, my ladies and gentlemen.

Im glad (actually 50% sad also) to let you know that today is the day, when AIESEC in Pärnu celebrates the first day of a new year, a new term. For some people this is maybe one of the most important and life-chaning opportunity giving day in their life so far. From today, I mean still the 1st of June, new EB members and project managers got the one of a kind chance to make something extraordinarily great with their own lives and help others also to grow.

The topic of this e-mail is "The beginning of a new era..." which is actually true from one side. But on the other hand our so called new generation, our future leaders and positive-changes-in-society-generating-change-agents, continues to follow the path which first steps have been made by Helena, Liisa and the EB of 2006/2007 and others who have been always there...

But this is not only the happy day for new leaders - it is also an important and worth of celebrating and remembering day of the whole AIESEC Pärnu. It is like the New Years Day the AIESEC way.

As it was said already - new leaders will continue walking the same path as previous generations. New leaders, I adjure you to do it with passion. Carry on the contribution of previous generations. Enjoy it, support each other, be tolerant, want to learn and develop and help others to do it as well. I truly belive that it is in our hands to ensure that after 20 years we can gather together as alumnis of AIESEC Pärnu and recognise with proudness that once we were the leaders of this organization and contributed to the opportunity to grow of the youth several years after us. Work towards this feeling.

Some of you used the unique opportunity to enjoy AIESEC Pärnu LC picnic this Thursday - thanks for being there - and already heard some final words from me as an LCP. But they also experienced that it was not so easy for me to find proper words to say in the situation where I should give my last speech as an LCP. I guess that even with this quite a long letter (I thank those who have reached this point with their reading and will do it until the end of the letter, even then if it is only one single person:)) I cannot express all the thoughts and feelings I would like to say you at the moment. And throughout the whole amazing year we have had togehter. Thank you, everybody.

Take it as the last speech from me to you as an LCP of AIESEC Pärnu.

Happy new year!

Enjoy and behave, smile and be happy :)

LCP of AIESEC Pärnu 2006/2007
