Minute of the Meeting- Winter 2009

 

PAK Canada-Karaitivu Night 2009 was held on January 25, 2009 (6.00 pm - 11.00 pm), at Cedar Brook Park, 91 East Park Blvd, Toronto, ON M1H 1C5.  The first session was presided by K. Girubenddra, as MC.

 

A blessing and a minute of silence in memory of our founder member late Mr. C. Ilango and others who sacrificed their life for the common cause, were ceremonially offered by the priest Srimath Jeyam Aiyar (Karaitivu) and the forum, respectively.

 

The fun making (indoor) events - such as running for candy packs, blowing balloons and musical chairs were taken place and the valuable gifts were generously given away to winners and all participants.

 

On behalf of the Founder Members’ (FM) request, the Panel of Patrons (POP) and the Committee of Administration (COA) were elected instantly, and the governing authority was vested on to the POP by the forum, unanimously.

   

‘’The objective of this Association is to foster the unity and social welfare of the members and their families within the core spirit of Canadian values’’, and setting-up of a formal office bearers, by-laws and procedures shall be considered as we move-on further”; were stated by Prof. E. Balasundaram in his presiding address.  The next get together will be scheduled in this summer, and the date and venue be fixed at a forthcoming COA meeting as early as possible.

 

Suggestions and concerns raised by the forum were addressed positively by the POP and COA, while emphasizing on sincere cooperation as priority # 1.
