MATTERS DISCUSSED
REPORT
ON EGBE TRIP: Bola Olanrewaju presented the report on
their trip to Egbe during which they went to see Mrs. Balogun, a mother and former Senior Mistress at Demonstration
Secondary School ABU Zaria on the occasion of her 76th birthday. The
report includes the names of members that contributed to the success of the
trip, the total money realized, the expenses incurred during the trip and the
balance left.
MRS.
ALAIYEMOLA’ GIFT: Bola Olanrewaju suggested that we add to
the cash from the balance left from the Egbe trip or we just take 10k out of it
and present cash as gift to Mrs. Alaiyemola. John Ojuola reminded the house
that as discussed we should get her a gift. As gift is more treasured than
cash. A good wrist watch was suggested and be given to her as Xmas gift. Lateef
Suberu and Kudi Olobayo also agreed to
this.
MEETING
DUES:
As discussed and agreed at the previous meeting on keeping a small purse for
the Alumni until an account is opened, Segun Daramola suggested One Thousand Naira (N1,000)as he sees Five Hundred Naira (N500)
as too small. The House all accepted. For now it’s made clear that where a
member doesn’t have to give at a sitting, such should not be carried over to
the next meeting to avoid unnecessary accumulation as this will keep members
back from attending meetings. The payment of the dues was started same day. Bola Olanrewaju suggested Kudi Olobayo as
treasurer to keep the monthly dues, Segun Daramola seconded and the House too
accepted.
LEGAL:
Azeez
Momodu, the Lawyer in the House sent a copy of the Constitution that he had
worked on to the Constitution Committee to serve as a guide to work with as the
committee has chosen the 10th of November as the day to conclude
everything that has to do with the Constitution so as to send to Abuja Chapter
for their contributions and also forward same to the lawyer.
LOGO:
Segun accepted the blame on not getting the logo ready but promised to get it
done and show the Constitution committee on their meeting day.
ON MR. ITOE: John Ojuola raised the
issue of Mr. Itoe concerning the assistance Kotei ask from DEMOSA. Bola
Olanrewaju responded that Michael Akuboh has not gotten back to DEMOSA
concerning the issue as she spoke with him (Michael) during the week.
PARTY:
December 8th 2012 was chosen as the date for DEMOSA get together.
Adesina Ogunyebi asked the form it will take. It was agreed that resources be
pull together and we decide on what we want. Babajide Akintokun advised that we
should know and be sure of the number of people we will carter for so as to
avoid waste. After much deliberation on the issue an estimate of Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000) was
arrived at for now and each member was tax
Five Thousand Naira each (N5,000)
payable before the next meeting.
Adesina Ogunyebi suggested
that we invite members of our family to have fun with us and also see what we
have been doing in the last one year. It was advised too that we get gift for
the children under age 6.
