Oscar ,
Thanks for addressing this matter that is threatening the future of
WMKE , by your own admission things are not looking good, i even din't
know Grace has left the group ,For our info Grace & Abbas were just
NOT ordinary members but founder members who contributed immensely to
its project & were in charge of various ongoing projects within WMKE
,we don't want to see an exodus of members ,do we ?
Its wrong for anyone to try imagine that this matter can be
swept under the floor ,When you guys assumed office we thought there
will be a deliberate effort to speed up incorporation of WMKE ,
Questions ,Whats holding us/you from creating a joint account for
WMKE as most of us are in support of the same ? ,What is the status of
the incorporation ,We rooting for incorporation because other than
defining roles ,We all know there are projects that involved WMKE
relating with government & non governmental organizations which cannot
be possible if we are not a legal group.
I don't know the procedures of calling for a meeting ,but i once
again want to appeal to our chair to come up with a date ,soon is a
proper word ,to address this issues ,we still believe in the board
members ,but you should not continue behaving like its business as
usual while people are opting out ,
Bruce,
A volunteer WMKE.
