A permanent office space was located at the following address. It would start functioning immediately. Continuing with the idea of having meetings at a central location in the City, the weekly meetings would be held in Cubbon Park. However, it was decided to conduct at least one meeting in a month (preferably the first in the month) in the office. The office would be open daily between 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. to begin with. The working hours would be expanded gradually. The address of the office is: BM-Bangalore Chapter, 'Radha', No. 44, 2 nd Floor, 6th Cross, 7th Main, Vishwajith Layout, (Off Airport Road), New Tippasandra Post, Bangaloreâ'560 075; Cell: +91-9886674807 *Propaganda* à It was decided to begin a mega membership drive on ground .

Any body who wishes to be part of this campaign should contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Finance* à The Finance Committee would collect all details about opening a bank account for BM-Bangalore, to which anybody can deposit money from any part of the globe.

Grievance/Queries/Suggestions Session ~ Registration of Bhumi A member pointed out that the way registration of the NGO was done, was not correct. We accept that there was a miscommunication on the part of the Executive Bosy and the Central Teams and the trip in Jaipur will be to resolve all pending issues so that we can move forward. This question will be discussed again at our next General Body Meeting where we will be better prepared to answer this. ~ Meeting of few members during the week A few members meet everyday at the Eat Street lawns and a member felt that this decreased the importance of the General Bosy meeting. We would like to state that anyone is welcome to join us there and we use that time to interact, more as friends than as members of Bhumi. All major decisions regarding the organization will be put to vote and members are free to contact any of the Executive Body members for clarifications on any issue. We also welcome members to air their greivances at the Meetings so that the Exec. Body will have a chance to address it. This may also be an opportunity for us to address some of the same problems that other members may also have. 5. Monthly Contribution(all amounts in Rupees) Srikar - 50 Imtiaz - 100 6.
