Since the incorporation of WNF and strategic plan was availed, it appears that there has been no formal face to face meeting for the community to have input.
May I propose that we should plan for a formal meeting so that a) Community have chance to review WNF & strategic plan b) Discuss membership & membership benefits. Two or three months ago, some fee proposal were suggested: a) Is the fee shs 100,000? b) Is the fee shs 50,000? c) Is the fee per family? d) How about students? e) What fee structure is more comfortable for most people? As professionals, I am optimistic that we have enthusiasm and excitiment to make WNF a success. Lots of good things are already happening since we started. Lets keep it up.
