Annual
General Meeting Notice
PAFA invites you to attend its AGM 2009
PAFA AGM is due every Year
in the month of July, this year we had been very busy in Fundraising
Luncheon and in the preparation of upcoming PAFA function,
moreover PAFA Treasurer Usman is out of the country, therefore
we were considering to hold the AGM on the same date as of
the PAFA function date (01/08/2009) and majority of our members
were in agreement with this date. However one of our members
has insisted that PAFA AGM should only be held during the
month of July, therefore to accomodate this request we are
organising this AGM on 26 July 2009 on Sunday.
Please see below for more
details on agenda and on the venue details:
