Ladies and Gentlemen, the Executive Committee runs its offici81 affairs with full cooperation and thegovernance of itsTrustees MrGurdeep Singh Hundal, Mr Harbhajan Singh Maan, Mr Karnailsingh Narwal, Mrsatnam Singh Sohi and Mr Gurmailsingh Maan. The Executive Committee conducts regular monthly meetings in line with the Charity Commissions, directives. Duringthe period oftwo years of its term, 20 monthly meetings were Gonducted including one special meeting. There were no meetings conducted during the four months period of refurbishment of Panjabi Centre. The meetings are duly minuted and signed by the Presiding Officer (usually the President). The absentees and the attendees are duly recorded. During the past two years, various challenges were faced. For example, the logistic challenges of refurbishment of Panj8bi Centre were faced over the time, tackled tactfully by the executive committee and the result is an excellent new look that you can all see, thanks to the untiring hard work of the members of the executive committee. With the new ceiling, new floor. new AC and Sound system, new kitchen and new washrooms, the hall looks very inviting and soothing to the eyes with the new paint on the walls. There are still some problems that need further attention. l am sure that the future executive committee will be taking care of that. Suggestions from the respected members regarding any area of improvement will be welcomed. Ladies and Gentlemen, any problems and are8s of improvements were carefully followed and appropriate actions taken from time to time. The Finances of the Panjabi Centre are very rigorously guarded by our Treasu rer and by the collective efforts of the Executive Committee members.
