July 02, 2007
To all members
An emergency meeting was held at Creek Inn yesterday, i.e. July 01, 2007. The single point agenda was relief efforts for flood victims.
MCP has decided to provide whatever support possible, particularly to Jhal Magsi area, as our members, Nadir, Amer and Zafar Magsi, hail from that area and they have provided considerable support both to the club and motor sports in Pakistan. This is our time to stand in solidarity with them and lend them our support.
It was decided to send a minimum of 500 Cartons, i.e. one truck load of Staple Food and one truck load of Mineral Water etc. to Jhal Magsi immediately. Purchase order was given on the spot to Fareed Verani c/o Agha’s, at special discounted rates, and the goods will be delivered by July 03, 2007. The bill for the staple food comes to approx. Rs. 265,000/-. The first consignment has been funded already by the grace of the participants present. We already have a head start on the second targeted consignment and would like members and their friends to contribute open heartedly.
Some details of the contributions to date are as follows,
Waqar Pagganwala has contributed 200 Cartons of Mineral Water.
Following participants, MCP members and their friends, who were present and have contributed:
Total 205,000
Those who were not present but have responded through text message and contributed are:
