RCKB Weekly meeting no.18/2008 (7.5.08)

HAPPENING AT OUR LAST MEETING.

As few key members were away due to unforeseen circumstances, I was requested to chair the weekly meeting. It is heartening to know that despite some members constraints we have continue the Rotary tradition ie holding our weekly club meeting and have a wonderful fellowship in the process. I received sms, emails and phone call from members informing of their unavailability as well some status to report in their absence. So guys do make use of the Internet facilities to keep in touch, the convenient of browsing using your laptop or just walk in to one of those cybercafe at as low as rm2 an hour. Note, PP Din responded by sms saying he is still overseas.
We have two guest who attended our meeting. They were Jamil and Siti. This is an interesting phenomenon. People are interested enough to know what we are doing. This is an opportunity for RCKB membership drive.
