MNS Perak Calendar of activities : Nov-Dec 2000

Calendar For Nov-Dec 2000

Fun Day in Taman DR Seenivasagam (Sunday 12 November 2000)
Time: 9.00 am – 3.00 p.m.
As part of our 30th anniversary celebration the Perak Branch has planned a Celebration with Nature - Fun Day in Taman DR Seenivasagam. This is the first time the Perak Branch is organising such an event on such a scale which has taken many man-hours of sacrifice by the organising committee - meeting almost every week for the past two months! There will be an exhibition of MNS activities, achievements, souvenirs and publications, a Children Art competition (Theme: Love Life, Love Nature), sale of food, drinks and plants for MNS Perak Building Fund-raising and display of our caring nature especially for the less fortunate. Many companies have come forward to sponsor prizes for the Art competition and donate their products for sale during this auspicious event. Members with children should encourage their children to take part (food and drinks will be provided). Volunteers would be required for this fun-filled one-day event tentatively on Sunday 12 November and to guard the exhibits by camping overnight in the park on Saturday 11. It is hoped that all members will help to make this a memorable occasion by helping to sell coupons (available from any committee member) to friends and supporters of the MNS.
