We're still alive ! ! ! :o)

...shit, I could hardly do anything this forenoon than waiting for news from the SMV (Summer Member Versammlung [Meeting]). When Anja came running to tell me the happy outcome, it was such a huuuuge relief!

OK, for all who wonder what the bleep I'm talking about: our LC was about to be closed/dissolved because we didn't meet AIESEC's criteria for two years in a row. Namely, we had not enough incomer - trainees from other countries coming to work in companies in and around Chemnitz.

So a few months back, our LC and four others got a couple of criteria to meet this year. If we didn't, we would have been closed. The decision would have been made on the SMV, our LCP (Local Comittee President) Phillip would have to present what's going on in LC Chemnitz this year, how we chose to change what was going wrong, what we want to do better and how. He had 10 minutes to present all that to Germany's other fifty-something EB's. After that, a tough 20 minute- Q&A round.

I can only imagine how Phillip and the EB (Executive Board: Maja, Conny, Andrea and Franka) felt until the vote was over!

Guys, we felt with you! And next monday we'll celebrate like, ... well,... like AIESECers! :o)
