"Leadership styles" led by the new officers

Well hello there! This is the new PR writing. From now on, I'll be sharing the experiences we will have in our club. So this Sunday, a beautiful sunny afternoon was the first meeting led by the new officers. The president, and the vice-president taught us, the members of club GLOW Gevgelija about the different leadership styles. They did great! They divided us in two groups, and the main task was to build a city, but both of the groups had two different ways of how to build it. This was actually inspired by the workshop held in the American Corner in Skopje, which some of our members attended. Those members shared their knowledge with us, in a very fun way (as I mentioned just above), and you are about to see that in the photos below!  

Book exchange project review

We couldn't be happier to announce that our project was a real success! Although weather conditions remained unchanged many people, from authors to little children came to the library to exchange their already read books with another ones.  Since people showed interest in our project we decided that we should continue this and make it become a tradition in Gevgelija. We can't say anything for sure yet, but we will probably have a certain time and day of a month where people could come to the library and exchange books.

People from the municipality and local TV were among the people who found our project interesting and arrived at the library to videotape our event and have an interview. (Photos bellow)

Our next meeting will be run by our new officers and this is officially the last project coordinated by the old ones.

I, Bojana, the PR of the club responsible for updating the blog and announcing our meetings as well as leading the meetings want to personally thank everyone who's been reading the blog posts about GLOW Gevgelija's progress and accomplishments. I am really glad I got the opportunity to update the blog and keep everyone posted and I have to admit I wish this didn't have to end. But, I have to retreat and leave the new officers take over and I am proud to announce that from now on you'll be reading our new PR's updates whose name is Doris. I've been part of this club since the beginning in 2009 and it's amazing how much we accomplished together since then. I truly believe that we leave this club in good hands and our new officers take this seriously and keep up the good work we've been doing until now!

Sorting out the books at the city library

 We met again today for the last time to sort out the books in the library. Now, everything is ready for our big day tomorrow! The photos of the books we have to offer and us are bellow. We are all so excited about this project and hope it turns out well. Will the rain stop the inhabitants of Gevgelija to come and exchange books? Check our blog again on Sunday for Book Exchange project summery!
