As you can see from the discussion in the Sk get together 2008 thread,the get together was full of fun.I once again thank all those who attended.It was great seeing some faces behind SK membership.
The attendance was not really as I expected but those who showed up made good of their time.There were shortcoming on the organization and it was abit difficult to trace one another. I believe some of you came and left without getting where the party was.Anyway,It was a lesson learned and the next time we are planning such a meeting,the organizer will have to give a phone number. As at the end of the meeting there were 12 members.
We discussed about the SK charity club and found that It would be difficult on the administrative part of it if we go for a fully pledged club due to members commitment.
We agreed that for the time being we can do a 'one off' charity contribution during this christmas season so that we can share with the less fortunate in the society.
Members will contibute in cash and/or kind.I am organising a fixed collection point in town for accountability purposes.
We shall then identify some needy members of the society e.g. a children's home,mathari hospital,a prison etc and then set a day to make a visit to them as we present the collections.
I tell you this will be more fun,we can request Marexx to invite K24( if he can )as we present the gifts.(So that members can feel appreciated).This is what most corporates are doing and it can assist Stockskenya in Corporate Social Responsibility
Members are free to give suggestion as to the choice of the beneficiaries to the contribution.
The success of this will determine the way foward as far as the charity club is concerned as it will be an indication as to how member will be commited to the Charity.
I will communicate to you in this forum once a collection point is identified.Please lets pull up our socks on this .
On the,A.O.B cabin trip to naivasha for the members present was agreed as discussed earlier by the members who were present.
