This is to inform that the Executive Committee and Related Meetings of the Asia and Pacific Alliance of YMCAs will be held on March 4 to evening of March 7, 2014 (official ECM schedule: March 5, 2 p.m. to March 7, Farewell Dinner) at The Cityview, 23 Waterloo Road, Yaumatei, Hong Kong. Please plan your arrival & departure accordingly on the attached timetable.
The Lay Leaders Conference organized by the APAY Board Members will be held on March 4 for the orientation & training. We recommend the lay leaders to attend the conference for their own benefits. We’re inviting Mr. Bart Shaha, Ex-Secretary General of World Alliance of YMCAs and Mr. Johan Vilhelm Eltvik, present Secretary General of World Alliance of YMCAs for the Conference.
Relevant documents, including the Tentative timetable, Registration /Accommodation Form, Proxy Form, and Form of In Memoriam are enclosed for your kind attention and action.
It is important that duly completed participation form reaches the APAY Secretariat not later than 11 February 2014, to facilitate room reservations and other arrangements. For those countries that require visa process, it takes at least 4 weeks. It is recommended to apply in the middle of January.
Please be reminded that all travel, board and lodging costs shall be the responsibility of the individual member of her/his movement. The Alliance may be able to consider partial subsidies for only a limited number of participants from those movements that have financial constraints. Please contact me before 11 February 2014 should you require some assistance to participate in the meetings.
We look forward to your participation and leadership at the forthcoming Executive Committee and Related Meetings.
A Blessed Christmas and New Year from all of us here at the Secretariat!
Yours sincerely,
Kohei Yamada
