Nanyang MBA Olympics - 2nd e-DM

With the MBA Olympics fast approaching, we have created another electronic mail (click for PDF) for you all. This one contains:

• Tournament Rules / Sports Rules 
• Tournament Schedules (taking into account the number of teams you've signed up on)
• Registration / Donation Requirements 
• NTU Sports Center Location Map + How to Get Here
• General Schedule run down

So please have a look at it.

Btw, a word of advice for those playing on Sunday, especially futsal and basketball players! BRING SUN BLOCK!! 

Unfortunately, I found out the need for it the hard way as I write this entry with a burning sensation on my back. (Should have got sponsorship from some sunblock manufacturer. This would be a great place for their advertisement now)

London Olympic, MBA Olympics, Special Olympics Singapore

Forget the Year of the Dragon. This is the year for Olympics. In a couple of weeks, we are going to kick off with our MBA Olympics 2012, so hope you all have formed your teams and are getting ready for the games!

As mentioned earlier, MBA Olympics was started last year by the CSR club of Nanyang MBA. This year it is going to be a joint event between CSR club and Women In Business (WIB) of the Nanyang MBA. The aim of this event is to provide all MBA students in Singapore to get together and have some fun together while raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause. Last year funds were raised for Cambodia Trust but this year we thought we would go for a local organisation and after some searching, came upon Special Olympics Singapore.

This is a non-profit organization that dedicates itself to providing sports training and competitions for persons with intellectual disabilities, giving them opportunities to develop physical fitness, self-esteem and confidence, and become productive and respected members of society.

To add a bit of twist to the event, we have planned a few exhibition matches with teams from Special Olympics Singapore AND they have been training, which is more than I can say for our students (sorry guys, don't kick me from the team).
