Dear ETHalumni, With the start of a new year we would like to announce some changes in our SG chapter: we will discontinue our local newsletter and will publish event reports and planned meetings on our Facebook or LinkedIn pages. However, you will still receive emails to inform about upcoming events We have a new committee member: Fabian Nicolas Graber, MSc ETH Civil Eng. / SIA, dipl. Arch. FH Since there has often been some confusion whether the Singapore chapter membership comes with a fee we clarify this matter an article about ETHalumni membership and membership fees payable to Zurich on Facebook. Have a look if you are not sure. The SG chapter committee wishes you and your loved ones merry Christmas and a good start into a successful and happy new year! Katja Fink Hans Jaeger Lincoln Lewis Manohar Velpuri Fabian Nicolas Graber

1. Singapore chapter:Active membershipandmembershipfees
This article is to clarify on the ETHalumni membership and fees.
 Active chapter members must be members of ETHalumni
Zurich. When you sign up as a member on the ETH alumni Zurich
homepage (http://www.alumni.ethz.ch/en/myalumni.html) you will
receive an invoice of 70CHF per year. Please indicate your Singapore
chapter membership in the my alumni portal, there is a button to
do so as illustrated below. I am sorry that the MyAlumni Portal is
only in German, something to be improved!!!
 There are no additional fees for the Singaporechapter
 If you are not sure whether you qualify as a ETHalumni, please check
