IT IS OVERDUE BY 7 YEARS. This Manjeet Dhillon fella said December to someone months ago. Now I hear that its mid December after some committee meeting they had last week. No confirmation yet but once I know, I will post the details here.
I've been reading all the PAWS issues for some time now, and it saddens me how the passion and compassion and effort of the volunteers are met by certain people residing at PAWS. This is so disheartening to know... Are volunteers not one of the most valuable assets a charity organisation can have? Nevertheless, it is heartwarming to learn of the persistence and relentless effort of volunteers, all in the name of love and compassion towards the deprived homeless.. Kudos to you Cynhor, and all others eg those that pledge in the poll and other volunteers, and the quiet samaritans working on their own out in the road.. Cynhor, you were asking someone to check the ROS. Has anything come out of it, or do you still need that piece of info? Do let me know..
PLEASE... it is not me... and by far, there are so many others who have in their own way contibuted, and contributed quietly. I would not have seen things for what they are if it wasn't for these good samaritans.
Now all we hope for is the formation of a core group of volunteers and animal lovers who can collaborate effectively - and work towards establishing something better for PAWS. It is sad that the site is lost, let us work towards rehoming as many dogs and cats before the day comes and they have to be put down (and I hold the present committee fully responsible for this fiasco!!) One of them actully said to me that they will "cross the bridge when they come to it"... how irresponsible! They should have worked on a contigency plan - establish a temporary location, for all the animals in their care.
BUT the issue with ROS is a darker cloud. Once deregistered, its will be another two years of hard work before a charity status can be fully gained, and can you imagine, 300K ++ of donated funds in the bank going to the govt when the dogs need it so much. I doubt that we have people who are in the position to establish another charity and stick it out like the PAWS' pioneers did.
My last visit to the ROS is about 7-8 weeks ago. And it is about now, that they would have issued another summons (Show cause letter). It would be good if you can go in and obtain a copy/or confirm that it is issued. 30 days is a very short time to get the required stat documents prepared, and I can see this PAWS committee intentionally holding a AGM a day before the deadline. The other unknown is whether PAWS finally went back to resubmit their accounts and members list as required.
I rcvd mine (AGM notice) yesterday (02/12/04). The meeting is scheduled for Sun (12/Dec/04) at PAWS Animal Welfare Society, Subang at 2:00pm. I joined in Sept'04 as a life member but I have not rcvd my receipt yet.
I received all the notification today ... I donated so I got the receipt and I am surprised that I am automatically a member.. It is good that they have done so.. but only the address is typed wrongly but good that the postman knows my name .. (friendly postman) so I recd today... eventhough the address was wrong...
Have you got it yet? They are saying that you MUST produce a receipt. Can you imagine some people who joined 4 years ago trying to dig up old receipts...
No, still no sign of my receipt yet. Hope it is not lost in the mail. So, can I still attend the meeting or I can be there but can't vote, right? Maybe, I'll just hv to check my receipt when I'm there; too bad, forgot to photocopy my registration form b4 hand over. Hope to meet u then n the rest too.

Hi again,
Manage to trace my receipt just a while ago. It's w my vet. Will collect it either tomolo or the day after. BTW, also found out fr my vet that the voting is on 26/Dec/04! So, would u know whether the meeting is still on this Sun (12/12/04)? I'll only know tomolo fr my vet.
Anyway, I'll not be able to be online till next Tue (14/12/04) as I'm on leave n I don't hv a pc at home! If the meeting is still on, I'll try to drop by as I hv some things to donate.
Yes it did and it was well attended too. Compared to the last AGM (1997) with 7 people, this one had 200. We are also pleased that people went out of their way (changed holiday plans etc) just to be there.
Thanks to all who came in and supported the call for change. Hope that you will join up and be more involved at PAWS. It sure needs all the help it can get. The more people are involved, the more likely things get put right.
Say ... before you visit ... post/email Liz Tay and/or Cynhor before you go ... will be easier that way ... 'cos then you have someone to show you around & kinda let you know what is needed at PAWS ...
