Updates

Christmas Dinner – The COMM team has been busy planning the Christmas Din-

ner, designing Christmas Cards and working on the Project Global Village, which is becom-

ing more and more real. Be curious about it... soon we will provide you with further in-

formation! Also we have participated on a video project that will be realized by LC Bo-

chum in Germany. As soon as the Video is out we will share it with you!

Events team – The IM Events Team has been planning some nice events for our In-

terns and our members. Last Saturday they organized a tour through the Christmas Mar-

ket in Zurich. They had a nice time watching all the cute little stands and drinking some

Glühwein to keep them warm. Furthermore they are participating in an IT Project: It's a

master thesis, where a platform will be created to facilitate the matching process four us

and our members. This seems to be a very useful tool. We're looking forward to see what

it looks like!

IM

Accounting software – The Finance Team has been updating the accounting

software in order to make budgeting easier and more structured for the future. Also they

have been preparing a finance presentation to present at the LCM to destroy the image of

finance being 'booooooooring'.

F

Progress – The CD team is almost done with sales. Though it is very hard to gain new

companies there are around 15 enterprises who confirmed so far. The atmosphere in the

team is amazing and although all of the members are super busy during this time, they're

highly committed to make CD a success! The team has also begun to check on some mar-

keting and promo activites. They came up with some pretty promising ideas such as CD-

coffecups or fortune cookies. For now all the tasks are distributed and each and every

member know what to do. They are all giving their best to make our partners happy -

therefore they will also send them a Christmas card =)

Good job Career Days Team!!

General Assembly

Last Wednesday we had our General

Assembly. It was an exciting event for

the oldies and even more for the ne-

wies: They finally got accepted as full

members of AIESEC Zurich with voting

rights and all the other advantages that

come with it =)

After a sometimes tricky challenge,

where the new members had to guess

the abbreviations of many of the terms

we use in AIESEC, the 'loosers' had to

perform a karaoke version of Britney

Spears' Baby one more time. It was de-

finitely fun for everyone who had the

pleasure to watch them. Probably it was

also a lot of fun for the karaoke singers.

After this first part,, the old EB of

2011/2012 stepped up and presented

their results to the crowed. They show-

ed their achievements and what didn't

went so well. All in all it was a success-

ful year and the members discharged

them of their responsibilities. Now it's all

up to the new EB... so you better don't

mess it up ;)

Last but not least we got to choose the

new OCP for DO IT 2013, the conference

that takes place annually in autumn and

that will be organized by LC Zurich next

year. We had two very charming candi-

dates for this position: Rusa Izol and

Raphael Balimann. Both of them delivered

a great speech and showed high motivati-

on to take the position as OCP. In the end

Raphael made the run and got elected.

Congratulations to both of them. You both

did an awesome job. Now we can defini-

tely be looking forward to the next DO IT!
