Hey RIRC,

RIRC will be organising a Cadet-Link Activity with the links of De La Selle School on next Thursday, 19/5. This activity will be held after school, from 2.10pm to 4.30pm. Time for lunch as well as transport to the school will be provided. As such, we need you all to indicate your attendance on this link: http://goo.gl/forms/jqqRQDeu9d.

As such, we will be organising games for the links, and you all will be helping out in organising these games, by conducting the games for them on the actual day. More information will be released at a later date. This activity is a chance for you to interact with the links, and know them better, and also an opportunity for you to get more people to join Red Cross. Do note that this activity is a compulsory event, so if you are absent, you will need to have a valid excuse. Thank you :)
