Folks, it’s been a wonderful discussion and as was rightly pointed out, it takes a group of people of a like mindset to achieve anything meaningful in such a course. Let’s keep up the pace.
On the question of impending projects: during the last number of months, the association concentrated on getting our documentation together, and then embarked on membership drive, which I must say that we’ve done well.
The big goal is to help with the long awaited assembly hall at OPASS. Meanwhile donations are being solicited from companies to donate used computers to refurbish the computer lab. We need everyone’s help in this area. We are still “knocking” from door to door and I believe most of us work in companies which occasionally donate such items to nonprofit organizations. So be on the lookout.
Generally, contributions and pledges are ongoing. We are working on making our account number public to enable contributions no matter one’s residence. Additionally, we are looking at making it possible for people to donate online by credit card or via pay pal. We will keep you posted.
This year’s reunion is slated on the 26th May, as already announced. Our meeting will be centered on how to make the association stronger and better, how to generate more funds, adoption of our draft constitution and elections, among others. It is our prayer that each and every class would be represented by at least 3 mates. It’s therefore the duty of each and everyone who wants us to succeed in our quest to give back to OPASS to propagate this message. We’ll ask that each of us contacts our mates, friends and spouses who are in positions to join us, to do so. Together we can do more than we can ever dream of. Take care and don’t forget to give us the opportunity to keep this effective communication and discussion going. Thank you folks. Kind regards.
