Good day to all of you.
There was once myself and NJ Singam (past convention organizing Chair) went to one of the local bank to close the convention bank account. When we went to the counter, we informed the officer about the matter and she handed us 2 forms for us to initial it. Then she obtained our Identification Card for verification. Just within 4 minutes, the officer handed us the remaining balance and told us that, the account was closed.
It was a total contrast, if we compared with opening a bank account, where we had to fill few forms, go through few verification and approvals prior to opening an account. The entire process took almost 2.5hours compared to closure of account which lasted only for 5 minutes.
We often forget or never ponder on the initiator of the club and their sacrifice & hard work to charter the club and we just need a single sheet of paper to close a TM club.
Should your club is having turmoil or recession, do speak to Area Governor or myself, so that we could advise and perform various strategies to sustain the club.
Always think of the sacrifice of the creators and initiators whom has made our club to current status, as it's always easy to close a club but needs effort to charter a club
