Kajang Hash is considering a yearend celebration RUN (in October 2009) in conjunction with our 1111th run.
Question on whether or not to celebrate was thrown to the floor yesterday to some committee members present and Kajang hashing members during the circle after our weekly run at Jalan Kacau (duck farm), Semenyih. The Hare of the night was 'Tai Fatt/Boh Siah'....Good RUN, On On.
Majority of the members voted for a celebration. Some were neither yes or no, including our On-Sec Raymond SMC.
In view of the prevailing recessionary mood and business slow down across the economy and the whole world, such a vote of support is highly commendable... Big Hand !!
For those that have abstain from voting or confirming the celebration. I think they just need abit more time and details and most important of all the damages each and every member have to fork out.
For many years in the past,members are cornered and near harrashed into forking out damages which they think is not their sole responbility but be share out with all members according to affortability.
Money contribution immaterial of any amount should not be the sole criteria to judge whether or not a member support a celebration. Contribution in kind, eg home made cakes, food & fruits, skillful contributions such as the OC team, performances or display put up by members, clearing of rubbish after celebration, time sacrifices by members during meeting, etc should also be consider a generous contribution to the success of any celebrations in mind.
Other than an amount of fixed contribution from members, agreed by committee at meeting, any other amount collected should be voluntarily and depends on the generousity of the member concerned.
Kajang hash must first have a budget and focus and resources be built around it. Any extra amount received due to the generosity of members and friends of KH3 should be view as a BONUS.
Last but no least, members immaterial of ranking, status, sex, religion and race, should be make to feel proud with 'A host like feeling built in them'. Kajang hash must always make sure bickering issue are quickly disolved, quarrelsome attitude be turn into friendship and joke, petty issue of the past be buried once and for all.
"We are all like brothers and sisters", this famous quote from our present GM Funtoong sum it all. Once members achieved a sense of belonging to KH3 , any call of celebrations will only bring pride and happiness and members will be more than proud to tell the world..."WE ARE TRULY KH3 MEMBERS". By then the OC better not be targeting 1000 or 1200 attandance. It could run into 5 figures if we dont put a stop to it.....haha..... well done.
The above are my personnal opinion as a Hasher with KH3. Members are welcome to comment without fear of favour.
