- KAF apprised the attendees that no one has so far approached us for contesting SAEEA forthcoming elections. Now, SAEEA has to nominate Friends for getting General Body opinion. KAF requested Founder Members (GQK and MAM) for nominating friends for further review by Managing Committee.
- KAF requested AQ to find out procedure for getting SAEEA registered.
- KAF noticed that some people are under the impressions that SAEEA has been getting monetary assistance from Saudi Aramco or from any other source. SAEEA did approach Saudi Aramco several times but they did not bother even to answer the request. The reasons are very clear; there are more than 100 Ex Employees Associations running all over the World and they do not want to open the door to all of them. This should be made clear to all Members that SAEEA has not been getting any monetary assistance from any source. From the day one, it has been running from Members contributions and Managing Committee’s free services. We acknowledge that few Members donated in the beginning just to see the Association in running position. Until now, we do not have Association’s Office or even the place for our meetings. The Managing Committee Members offer their houses for such purposes. Recently, I received a request from a new Member to arrange a musical program. The person will be contacted by email to make him understand our situation.
- Friends have been using and enjoying Whats App. However, some Friends have been placing political and religious material. We requested Friends again, not to place any material which may hurt other friend’s feelings.
- A Representative from an Investment Company approached SAEEA for their participation in the next SAEEA Reunion. During the reunion, the Company will describe their different money investment programs. The Managing Committee to review the request and will get back to the Company.
- IAK briefed about SAEEA website.
- MSH presented SAEEA updated account.
- SAEEA visited three SAEEA sick Members; (1) Chaudhary Ahsan Mohammad; got heart attack and is on bed rest. (2) Habib Nabi Khan; got heart attack and is on bed rest (3) Anwar Mirza; had open heart surgery while working for Saudi Aramco. Here, in Karachi the problem reoccurred and he was in a local hospital twice. Now he is at home on medications.
