RE : Congratulations to LOMs which held their Inductions
------------------------------------------------------------
Warmest greetings from your National Secretariat!
Induction season is almost over, said affair is one of the most important and memorable event for a LOM to undertake and to cherished is their annual induction ceremony. This affair is the formal installation of its new officers and in addition to is the taking oath of newly qualified recruited members as well as the ceremonial reception of its future members known as Baby Jaycees.
Since the 2009 National Board took their oath of office during the Natcon in Dipolog City October last year, many of our chapters have scheduled their respective induction which the National President has been invited or other National Officers in lieu of him as their Guest of Honor and Speaker. To make it more memorable is the invitation of other JCI dignitaries and government officials to grace the occasion as guest speakers. Also to maximize merriment and to make the affair livelier and memorable is the attendance of other officers and members from other LOMs. Accordingly, as part of our leadership training we take this opportunity to manifest our high regards and appreciation to everybody especially the NVPs and NEVPs in leading the practice of correct protocols during said activity.
To date, we are happy to note that almost ninety eight percent (98%) of all our LOMs have already done with their inductions attended by the National President or his official representative. (Please see attached file for reference). At this point, our National President Fulbert C. Woo together with all the equally competent members of the National Board extends their warmest congratulations to all the LOMs that have already held their inductions. We hope and expect everybody will work for the best to attain your respective goals for this year. Whatever accomplishment you may have will definitely help us in towing the line in making a better and stronger JCI Philippines. Again congratulations!
Maraming Salamat po at mabuhay po kayong lahat!

Since then the “JCI Bed Nets Campaign” has been continuously implemented every year in partnership with the United Nations Foundation. Its main objective is to raise funds intended for the purchase of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITN) to be distributed to the children under the age of 5, living in particularly in the Sub-Saharan Africa where malaria has rampant proliferation and is the largest single cause of death among children under the age of five, killing one child every 30 seconds, more than 800,000 per year.
Under this project the “JCI BED NET CAMPAIGN” every NOMs and LOMs are encouraged to help promote this project within JCI organization in order to help realize its goals as specified below;
