A great big West Auckland Booyah to all. It has been a relatively eventful week even with no committee meeting, this is due to the amount of events being organised. This week we’re continuing to work on our next two major events [the Mamna Night and the Christmas party]. On Tuesday night, Shayneil attended the NZTA meeting about the Mamna Night, a lot of progress has been made and it is amazing to see the amount of members the community getting behind the Taekwondo team and NZKYSI, we continue to get a lot of eager sponsors and donors for the event. The big project for me this week was NZKYSI newsletter #2, which should reach you sometime this week or the next. Although I have had some contributors helping me and therefore, I would like to give a shout out to Committee Member Rishi and NZTA secretary Prashant. To add to that, this newsletter features a ‘get to know the committee’ section with an [in my opinion inadequately answered] interview with Shayneil (President) and Vinesh (Vice-president) conducted by yours truly. Tonight at long last I have finished assembling the newsletter and will send it over to get printed once I’m done writing this. Others like our VP Vini Jones (Vinesh Kumar) also have been doing a lot more than just taking an interview. This week he’s been churning out our latest graphics including the Mamna Night Flyer and Christmas Party flyer seen below.

In other news…due to Nikesh missing the train last week I’m still not a signatory of the NZKYSI bank accounts… so, fingers crossed Nikesh makes it to the train station on time this Tuesday and I will be the latest addition to the proud tradition of NZKYSI bank account signatories…except for the proud tradition bit. hmmm aaannnyway I got a long day ahead of me at uni tomorrow and it’s getting late so I better go catch some zzzzzzzzzz
