Advantages of being organized
- Economical & Convenient Meeting Venues: Being a registered Association, we are now able to get a school auditorium & cafeteria for the Association events, which are much more convenient and less expensive.
- Well Structured: Activities of the Association and the Committee are conducted as prescribed in the By-laws of the Association. That means, we now have a well-structured organization, which is very important for the success of every event and the growth of the Association.
- Better Accountability: A Bank account has been opened in the name of the Association and all the transactions are routed through that account. The amounts collected from the members and the amounts spent are well accounted for and the Statement of Accounts is presented to the Committee at every single meeting. It will also be presented to the general members in December before handing over charge to the next Committee.
