The cochairman of EMIS had much dedication on our community, but the individual's power is feeble after all. Therefore, we need all mandarin immigrants to be united together to strive for one goal.

All members of EMIS should pay the member fee($10 annually) in every January. New members who join in from September just need to pay 50% of the annual fee（$5）for 2006. If one has paid an annual fee, other family members could have coequal treatment.

EMIS is in unfledged growing period, and needs a long-term scheme and layout. We need to have a unabridged record of our history, experience, especially the mistakes we have made. We should have a regular activities list(or table), so that all the members could figure that out conveniently.
