Hello, This is such wonderful news. We have come a long way. This chapter has been two years in the making. I remember our very first meet-up in July 24, 2010 at Java House, Loita Street along with Oliver, Oscar and Dennis. Out of the ~20 winners of the Google challenge that I had notified about the first meeting, only the four of us attended. Despite our failed efforts to proselytize our fellow participants, we still had hope. Despite the criticisms, we still moved on. Despite the many failed projects, we've still managed to succeed in little projects, with high impact. Despite the chaos in this mailing list, the energy amongst us still prevails. Despite the fact that we're not yet legally recognized, we have managed to impact the community and partnered with several legally-recognized entities. Despite the huge gender gap in the global Wikimedia movement, we have managed to get a fair number of (awesome) ladies on board. Despite our differences, we are bonded by camaraderie. And yes, I would like a cake too. Or a bash. Or going back to Java where it all started. Whatever. Warm regards, Abbas.

Lastly, Can we start now asking for Membership Contributions?
Ha! I'm glad that you're inspired :) And yes, feel free to re-use it.

Limoke Oscar,

Today we find ourselves today in the midst of an exciting time. Discussions of the precedences
that will affect the future of our chapter are on the ether-padhttp://etherpad.wikimedia.org/wikimedia-kenya-meet-up. Ensuring the strength of
that future is a tremendous responsibility and one that should never be taken lightly.
IMO, Our chapter has served the greater part of the East Africa region and a little bit
of the Southern Africa region yet it is a small army of volunteers whose journey started
at the Java house 565 days ago.
This weekend, as we come together, we ought to pay tribute to all of those who have made
incalculable contributions to the formation of the 39th Chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Each of these men and women contributions go far beyond their actual accomplishments.
Contributions that were no doubt made possible, in part, by their common roots to share
free knowledge.
You know this saying, "a dog wags its tail with its heart" - well, I am like that dog today.
I want to say so much, but I can hardly find the words.
Am looking forward to meeting you on the Weekend at this meet-up. RSVP herehttp://etherpad.wikimedia.org/wikimedia-kenya-meet-up
regards,
Stephen Interim Treasurer. WIKIMEDIA KENYA.
