MSS: Festival of Nations, AGM, Soccer Competition

Dearest Member ,

We hope that the second semester is starting well for everyone and
would like to congratulate those who have recently graduated!! (Note
to new graduates: if you no longer wish wish to receive emails from
MSS please email the word "unsubscribe" back to this email address.)

We have the pleasure to announce that the Mauritian Student Society is
participating in our first Festival of Nations on the 1st and 2nd of
September between noon and 3.00 pm. We are planning to sell some
Mauritian Food (Gato Pima, Gato Banane, DiPain Frire and Alouda) at
very very affordable prices... :D MSS is investing quite a lot of
resources (human as well as financial) into this event and any help
would be greatly appreciated. Please contact us on maurissoc@gmail.com

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that we are holding the
annual general meeting soon. We will provide you with all the details
as soon as we arrange for the venue and the date. We shall be doing
the annual election for the new president, vice president, secretary,
treasurer (executive committee) and 3 general representatives.

Anybody interested to run for these positions please contact us as
soon as possible with a note about yourself and the position you want
to run for (you can run for more than one position). We will then
email your description to all other members so that you are familiar
to them on the day of the election. This is not compulsory but will
make things easier for everyone.

There are some rules pertaining to the elections namely the fact that
any candidate must be nominated by any one member of the MSS and be
seconded by another member. At least two members of the new executive
committee must be student union members as well.

Concerning the soccer tournament, we have not been able to book the
hockey pitch for the weekends nor have we been able to book a place at
the Princes Park due to water restrictions stuff-.-".... So we have
decided to organise it during the first week of the mid semester break
during a week day (cheaper) at the hockey pitch ( uni melb). Still
waiting for some more teams to register and just so you know, there
will be a fee to be paid per team ( for medals, food and booking of
the place...)

That's it for now. Please do come to the Festival of Nations and
bring your friends along... It will be fun!!!

Regards,

MSS
