Hello Suresh, Good Morning.
Sorry for replying very late to this mail. All your thoughts are good. But let me tell you at this stage, we cannot go out. We are not yet streamlined and organized. I think it will take 2 more months for us to get stabilized. Once it is done, then we can work based on our strategy. Before we go out and approach public, all the members(atleast majority) must take the group serious. We should give equal importance to the group and its activities as like our profession or a passion. As you said, we should set deadlines and we should abide by it at any cost. Let us first practise it, then we can think of ways to expand. First we need to solidify our base. Thank you. with regards, PRASANTHI. --- In [email protected], suresh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Team, > > Given the geographics of our group, we certainly cannot afford to organize events for fundraising.

We just have to be more persistent and organised with our efforts.There is no denying the fact that there are plenty of good people out there who are willing to help and add vvalue to their money.
