We need tables and chairs

Sylvia Aluvaala: Gd work Patrick

Lung'afa: We just trying. Visit soon. 

We shall be having data clerks submitting their pedigree collections tomorrow.  So we will spend the day at the library.  

There is still room for more clerks.  Can they be reached? 

Lastly,  we shall be borrowing chairs tomorrow. Not that because attendance is huge.. but because many Saniagas are not prioritising the project.  

-With Thanks

Jeska sidika Wambani: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ , how many chairs do we have so far? Sidika

Lung'afa: We have one table and six chairs.  

A table has a cost unit of @5k. Chairs @650 each

We need at least 6 tables and 40 chairs for a start.  

We also have to put a few shelves by the walls.  Cost unit of one full shelve is @5K.

- With Thanks

Sidika: Thank you for the update. I think we need to have another meeting of the group and collectively map the way forward. Let's think about it and the logistics of a meeting. This is just my suggestion. Does anyone agree to another meet soon? Sidika

Lung'afa: Yes,  we were with Dad Ndanyi and the suggestion was we plan for a Library Opening Day.  

Maybe we look forward to that?

Dad Joshua: Yes indeed we need to meet and brainstorm very soon
