When I talk about that state of affairs, I use
the word “situation” rather than “problem.” And
for good reason: considering it a problem will just
consume your energy. If you are involved with
youngsters, you must accept that you will surely
lose them someday and that you will have to
work hard at recruiting new ones each year. We
are adults for a long time but teenagers for a
few years only.
This year, the YouthPhil Club will try to
help you in your philatelic involvement with
youngsters. With each Quarterly, we will give
you some tools to make your meetings come
alive and be more exciting. In the September-
October issue, you will be provided with
some useful charts and information.
If you already use special “made at
home” tools for your philatelic meetings,
share them with us. We will, in turn,
forward your ideas to all other clubs asking
for assistance. The previous-year issues of
the Quarterly is expected to be available on
CD but this will be confirmed one way or
the other in the next issue of The Canadian
Philatelist.
Have a great philatelic season! *
Lorsque j’ai parlé de ce que nous avions
à vivre, j’ai utilisé le terme situation et
non problème. Ce n’est pas sans raison.
Considérer cette situation comme un
problème ne fera que gruger votre énergie,
inutilement. Si vous voulez agir auprès
des ados, il faut tout de suite accepter que
vous finirez de toute façon par les perdre
et qu’il faudra en chercher de nouveaux
chaque année, toujours. On peut être adulte
longtemps, on n’est ado que quelques années.
Et durant ces années, ils seront dollicités de
toutes parts par une foule d’activités.
Cette année, le Club TJ mettra l’accent sur
l’aide au bénévolat auprès des jeunes. Dans
chaque trimestriel, nous vous présenterons
des outils que vous pourrez vous monter afin
de rendre vos réunions plus vivantes. Si vous
avez déjà des trucs ou des outils « maison »
dont vous vous servez pour vos réunions,
n’hésitez pas à nous en parler et à partager.
Nous nous ferons un plaisir de répandre la
bonne nouvelle. Les numéros du trimestriel
de l’an dernier devrait être disponible sur
DC. Le tout sera confirmé dans le prochain
Philatéliste canadien.
Bonne saison philatélique *
