Hello "les jeunes de la société Mauricienne"...

After so much time trying to set up this society, we finally made it through all the paperwork. MSS is almost official. An Annual General Meeting has to be held by the 15th of August where some general 'house-keeping' is to be done. Its probably going to be held during the second week of this semester.. try to be there people...more on that in the next emails.

We are sending this email to everyone who signed the "Expression of Interest" we passed during the Compatriots' Lunch that was held early last semester. Thanks for the support. MSS is your society, and we are doing this for the first time - any help, support or suggestion is really most welcome. We hope that MSS is useful to everyone, and "pa nek ene biblo ki pou ramasse la poussiere".. for instance, badminton and soccer matches can be organised through the society, we could also organise outdoors activities like BBQs (pou ban zenfan affamés kuma nu) or outings, "ou meme ban soirée sega".. up to you guys.. Use it well, 'coz we get funded by the uni to some extent.

Now to the main purpose of this email:

We need to confirm your contact details. Moreover, we are thinking of making a contact list and sending it out to everyone. Of course, there are some privacy issues here, so we need your opinions on these. Or would it be better to do things on Facebook. (but some people don't use Facebook yet.. yeah it's a reality.. :S). We hope to hear from you soon about this matter.

For the time being we'll try to email each one of you guys individually to confirm your details. Plz reply.. a simple reply will be enough.. "pa bizin met.. 'il etait un beau jeudi matin pendant les vacances hivernales..' ". If we dont get any reply, we'll assume that the email address is not correct and we WILL hunt you down!! :P
And if you have friends who do not know about this society, please let them know.. and tell them to send their contact details - at least an email address. Of course, A Facebook group will make our jobs easier..

That's all for the time-being folks... Remember, this is YOUR society...C Ensam Ki Nou Pou Bouzer!!!

Regards,

Yogesh Jeelall and Arun Beharee
