2nd MEETING of the NP ALUMNI UAE ME CHAPTER


We had the second meeting of the NP ALUMNI UAE-ME on Saturday 3rd May.

As Mr. Wilson was asked to kick off the meeting he began with the words Here’s a hand to a faltering brother, here's a lift for the lame and the slow”.

On the way out after the meeting Norden had everyone in splits as he began a running (albeit 1 sided) conversation with the ‘pretty-lady’ when the automated elevator announcement said “Ground Floor”.

Samir reminded us about being environmentally aware and the benefits of car-pooling as well as his concern that LC girls weren’t being ‘contacted’ enough.

That sums up the mood at every meeting of the NP ALUMNI UAE-ME Chapter.


FUN WITH A CONSCIENCE!

The meeting was held at the Convention Center at the offices of the Dubai School of Govt. (DSG).

"Mmnn... Now as President, can I strap these guys?? "

Once again thank you to Mr. Robert Wilson for arranging the excellent venue & food. If that were not enough, he even managed to keep Cerruti Pens and Flash Drives for all attendees as compliments. A BIG Thank You Sir, and we hope to have many more meetings in the future too :-)

"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibilities" - Like Standing and Talking.....

- Formation of the network and what it stands for, including the legalities
- Fr. Van’s visit and possible means of networking
- Raising funds for the Mungpoo project as well as for the School
