My dearest distinguished colleagues.
I wish to first specially give the Almighty God thanks for all His mercies towards us all. God has been kind to us all. He has given us life out of the abundance of His grace and He has blessed our branch in bountiful ways. The Almighty God certainly deserves our praises and this we shall do.
In this light, we shall hold a special prayer and praise session on Monday, the 6th of January 2025, to usher us into the new year as we seek more of God's blessings upon our lives and our branch.
As you know, we presented our half-year report to you on Friday, the 6th of December, 2024. You will recall that this was the first time the branch ever held a meeting on a Friday and it turned out to be one of the highest attended meetings in the history of the branch.
As a team, this administration has a lot to offer you. This year is loaded with a lot of great packages from our team to you my dear colleagues.
For example, in January 2025, we have a special package for the first one hundred and forty (140) members who will be the first to attend and register their names in the January meeting attendance sheets. We leave the details till the meeting day to formally announce the package.
Other packages for the year include support to the indigent, welfare support, health walks, a visit to the orphanage, a visit to the elders amongst us, mid-year market support, the 2026 branch diary, end-of-the-year rice, etc.
More details are contained in the NBA Effurun Branch programme for the year. Please print out your copy and mark your calendar.
NBA EFFURUN BRANCH 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET ESTIMATES.
It might interest you to also know that the excos have prepared proposed budget estimates for the Branch. The budget estimates have been forwarded to the Finance Management Committee, and the same will be adopted at the January 2025 meeting.
WHAT THEN IS EXPECTED OF YOU, MY DEAR COLLEAGUE?
While we are determined to play our part, the ONLY part expected of you to play are:
1. Physically attend and register your names in the branch attendance sheets for a minimum of TEN attendance from January 2025 to December 2025. NB: Consideration will be given to diaspora and genuine cases.
2. Pay your local/branch dues between January to 31st March 2025.
OUR APPEAL TO YOU.
While we shall strive to do more, we shall resist the temptation of gate crashing. Therefore, we shall WORK STRICTLY WITH THE ATTENDANCE.
My dear colleagues, as we look forward to the new year, we seek your continuous support and partnership for the greater interest of our branch.
I formally congratulate you and welcome you into the new year.
Happy New Year to us all.
