*****A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ****** A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ******** A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Members,
First of all, my sincere apologies to our membership for the food situation on Thursday, the 6th of June.
It has been drawn to my attention by various sources that the food ordered for Thursday was not in the correct ratio to the attendance. I am disappointed that this happened in my absence.
As I have mentioned previously, and would like to reiterate now is that our weekly order is based on previous week’s attendance. This is the guiding factor which we have used for years and it works. However, something went horribly wrong and we ended with situation which should not have occurred.
I take the blame for this, as I order the food every week and my strategy has worked well. The time has come when it seems that the strategy will need to be revised. I will do this with my committee.
Once again, I sincerely apologise and would like to express my MITCHAMI DHUKDAM to all our members.
I hope our membership will accept my apologies with a big heart.
Vinod Parekh
President
