After a nice tea at the Promenade Hotel on the 13th September
2003, the 5th Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at 2pm
at the hotel's Mawar Room. The 5th AGM was graced with the
presence of Mother Cecelia, Past Presidents, Datuk Ariah Tengku
Ahmad, Mrs. Rita Chin, Mrs. Rosie Wong as well as many senior
ex-Franciscans such as Puan Usha Jayaram, Ms. Tan Wan Cher
and Ms. Tan Kim Hua. A total of 33 ex-Franciscans gathered
to hear the report of the Executive Committee for 2001/2003
led by President Maureen Lind.
The President's
report was highlighted by a Charity Golf held in November
2002 and a Joint La Salle and EFA fellowship dinner in May
2003 in aid of the Secondary School Building Fund. A total
sum of RM45,161.00 was raised and donated to the school building
fund.
The President's
report was followed by the Treasurer's report showing a net
surplus for the year. Upon the adoption of the President's
and Treasurer's report, Ex-Franciscan Alice Imelda Chin was
unanimously called upon to declare the dissolution of EFA's
Executive Committee 2001/2003 and preside as Returning Officer
for the election of the new Executive Committee 2003/2005.
In-coming
President Phelomina Engsun thanked all members especially
the senior ex-Franciscans who attended the AGM and said that
the new Committee hoped to continue the good work started
by them. Activities will be planned and it is hoped that more
ex-Franciscans especially the young ones will join in and
participate in the Association activities.
