Fund raising for TKWO

As I wrote in my previous post, a storm struck part of the roof of the TKC Grand Hall and the TKWO room which is adjoined to the hall was totally damaged. Lots of music instruments were stored in that room and we are still not sure how much damage and lost had been caused by that incident. The problem is, nobody can enter the ground zero area… so the instruments were left under the hot sun and rain as the roof of the room has fallen down. We are still waiting for JKR to clear the room and see what we can salvage… and I don’t know how long we have to wait -_-

Some WO parents are wondering if the school would be able to get the instruments by end of this year, to ensure the girls can practice for next year WO competition. So, one particular concerned parent – Dato DKAA called for a special meeting to discuss on how to raise fund to revive TKWO for next year competition.

I was not keen to go at the beginning… it was on a working day - Wed, 29th Oct, 12 noon.  But it’s during lunch hour. And the meeting was held at a building in Taman Tasek Perdana… which is like 5 mins drive from my office. Then a F2 WO parent called me - jom la pegi, katanya. So I persuaded other asterix mommies to join me as well… Yaya and Nora agreed to join - Suka tau…. Hihi :)))

So yeah… I gotto meet the so-famous Dato KAA :D He has been the TOP TOPIC in our Asterix mommies discussion lately… lol!

The attendees of the meeting - from left : Nora, Kak Hani, Shiela, Dato Khairil Anuar Akhirudin (Dato KAA), Dato Dr Hj Yaacob Hussain Merican (Tok Cob), Yaya, Yours Truly, En Rejab, Kak Hekmat, Kak Aleen and Kak Shery. 

Yeay... 3 asterix mommies showed up!! 

Among the salient points from the meeting :

1.

1. Tun Suffian Foundation agreed to donate RM10K immediately – Alhamdulillah.

2.

2. Tun Suffian Foundation offers to be the platform for contributions since they are able to issue tax exemption receipt  - Alhamdulillah, dipermudahkan lagi.

3.

3. YTM Datuk Dr Sofeah Jewa, the writer of the book “The Return” will contribute minimum of 50  books that will be autographed by DYTM Yg DiPertuan Agung. Each book for a contribution of RM10K (oh wow!)

Eating lunch while eating (to save time) - the famous nasi lemak tangling... Tq Tok Cob!!! Dappppp hihi!

'The Return' - the book that would cost RM10K once it would be autographed by DYTM Yg DiPertuan Agung. But hey, those came to the meeting got this book for free... Yeay! But of course without Agung's autograph -_-. 

En Rejab calculating the cost that we need to buy basic new instruments to revive the TKWO for the competition. And guess how much??? RM600++K... And that's just basic instruments okay... The minimum amount -_-

Tok Cob (asterix grandparent you all!!) chairing the meeting with Dato KAA. 

Can we raise up to RM600K as per our target? 

May Allah ease our task in raising this special fund....
