Hi folks,

[strike:c25d78d1ae]Let's have a meet this Saturday. It needs to get over by 5 pm at the request of one of the active members of BCS.[/strike:c25d78d1ae]

[strike:c25d78d1ae]Time : 3 30 pm, Saturday, 4th November.
Place : Open air on Barista on MG Road
Incentive : Coffees are on me [/strike:c25d78d1ae]

*Edited to add* : striked out because we are going to reschedule it only after we have enough interested junta.

For the uninitiated, this thread is for people from Bangalore who want to make a difference to the community around them - call it volunteering, call it community service, call it payback.

To reiterate, almost all of us here are part of the lucky 2% in the world who are "HAVES" in contrast to the "HAVE-NOTS", and all that is needed to help bridge this gap is a little bit of your time every one or two weeks.

Is it really such a big deal taking two hours off on a Sunday afternoon ? Isnt it better than watching a re-run of Totall Recall on Star Movies ? We are all busy, but we cant be THAT busy.

If you are thinking what you gain out of this, *its a valid question - you can ask the Hydie and Mumbai folks about how enriched they felt after executing some of the community service projects they took up *

[strike:c25d78d1ae]The reason we should have it on Saturday is that if we can converge on an action plan, some of us can follow it up on Sunday to figure out the next step.

Please post so we can have an approx count of how many people would turn up.

And, if you are not interested in community service as such, but you still want to meet up, feel free to bump in. We can test our sales skills on you [/strike:c25d78d1ae]

[zango]

I'm interested - are you planning the meeting this (coming) Sunday?

[arboreal_tarantula]

OK .. we are going to take a slightly different approach here. before we have at least a critical mass of at least 7-8 people, we are NOT going to meet - nothing worse than a useless meet to kill enthu, right ?

here is what i propose instead :

I will build a list of people who are interested. You guys can pm me your phone numbers and email addies. Once I have a list with some names in it, I will call you folks up individually to figure out a convenient time and place. And yes, I am going to continue to bump this thread up shamelessly - i dont give up easily. Moderators, please excuse my incorrigibility. Also, I encourage you folks to post in this thread if you are interested, parallely PMing me your contact numbers.

I have the following names :
(*Ph*) means I have their phone numbers too.

Names :
1. Psychodementia ( Arun ) (*Ph*)
2. Suchs ( Suchitra ) (*Ph*)
3. Ranjitha
4. Zango ( Girish ) (*Ph*)
5. DJ
6. great_one ( Ramki )
7. Sindol ( Amar )

Sindol, DJ, Ramki, Ranjitha, please let me know your contact numbers.

thanx !

[great_one]

I am interested.
Saturday should be fine with me.

- Ramki.
