PRESENTATION OF QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT
The Treasurer, Mr. Yaw Antwi Nyanin, presented the report.
The report showed a positive balance for the first time
in Asantemankuo history. The Treasurer appealed for prompt
payment of membership dues for the balance to be sustained.
Our President, Joseph Nana Tano added his voice to this
call with an explanation that there was yet a portion of
the website Designer fee that needs to be paid and so members
must heed to the call to pay dues.
The report was adopted by members after a move by Joseph
Nana Tano was seconded by Mr. Peter Kuffour for its acceptance.
UPCOMING PICNIC
The Planning Committee Chairman, Mr. Sylvanus
Asiamah gave an update of the 17th July picnic. According
to him participating groups still remain and there were
indications that more might join. He also appealed to members
to endeavor to participate in all programs that might take
place at the picnic. Mr. Asiamah solicited for donations
and asked those who had already promised various items and
money to make good their promises. He declared the after-picnic
dance as cancelled for now until further notice due to difficulties
in securing a venue for the date – 17th July.
NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS
The President called members’ attention
to the circulation of flyers that is announcing the formation
of ASANTEMAN ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL OHIO. According to him
the owners of the said association are making phone calls
to our members asking them to join their group. This was
deception, according to Nana Tano, because it was being
carried out by some individuals who have been active in
our affairs recently and surprisingly have not given any
indication of their intentions. He stressed that the use
of a name similar to ours bothers on legality and that he
(President) was in consultation with the Assntemankuo’s
Attorney about the issue after which he will inform members
about the next course of action. While emphasizing the fact
that members have the free-will to join any association,
he reminded the meeting that our association is still strong
and has not asked any group or individual to do any such
thing. He promised to monitor the situation and swiftly
act to forestall any division that might rear its head.
He asked members to be strong, not to fall for individuals
who are parading around deceiving people to support their
personal ambitions.
PRESENTATION OF THE ASANTEMANKUO
WEBSITE
The association’s website, designed
by Mr. Abe Garba was formally presented to member, live,
on a bigger screen by the Designer. During the presentation
it was agreed that apart from the executives whose photographs
posted at the site shall have names there shall be no names
on that of the members at the website.
After the presentation Mr. Yaw Antwi Nyanin moved for the
acceptance of the design. This was followed by opening of
champagne and toasting proposed by Mr. Nyanin thus: “on
behalf of the President, Board and Members of the Asantemankuo
I am happy that the website is ready so let us drink and
make merry”.
We all made merry and left the meeting at 8.00 pm
