Minutes of Meeting of BMSCE-AAA
Date: June 3, 1997
Dear Alumni:
To finalize some of the details of the B.M.S. College of Engineering
Alumni Association's membership, office holders, and activities a
meeting was held on May 24, 1997 at Mr. Balu Begoore's residence.
The agenda for the meeting was previously discussed with Mr. Vijaya
Chandra as he was not able to attend the meeting. The following
were in attendance:
- B. Begoore
- B. A. Nanjappa
- M. Krishnamurthy
- K. Shinde
- B. K. Subba Rao
- K. N. Murthy
The following are the highlights and the results of the meeting:
- To better coordinate the activities of the association, it was
agreed that Mr. C. M. Bhimsimha of Boston be added to the National
Committee.
- It was also agreed that the nominations for the Regional Core
Committees be as shown in the organization chart. As
you can see we need suggestions and/or volunteers for filling the
remaining positions. Please talk to your friends and help us in
filling these important positions. When this organization becomes
fully functional we can arrange activities at national levels and
accomplish many of our current day goals.
- Mr. Krishnamurthy gave the financial details of the Association.
To-date we have collected $4502/- (Four thousand five hundred
two dollars). This sum includes the twenty five dollar annual
membership fee plus the donations we have received towards scholarships
and donor membership. The money is currently deposited in the bank
and arrangements are being made to deposit the money in India so
that the next year's five scholarships are paid from the interest earned.
It is our effort to deposit adequate funds in India so that at least
twenty scholarships per year are paid in perpetuity. As explained earlier
efforts for "Tax Free Exempt" status are underway. With the help
of six volunteers we gave six scholarships of Rs. 5000 each during 1996.
Our sincere thanks to those volunteers and we expect the spirit to
catch on.
As you all very well know the demands from the school are many. We
are focusing on the scholarships only at this time. When once that
goal is reached we can move on other equally important issues like
adding better technical books to library and subscription to technical
magazines, etc. We certainly encourage those individuals who are
interested in subscribing to the magazines for the college library
to do so as early as they can. They can do this either through the
Alumni Association or by themselves. But please inform us of your
actions. By now, if you don't, you should know that a room in the College
Hostel is available for the visiting Alumni to stay for a couple of
days. You can do so by reserving through the Principal's office.
Of course you are expected to give a presentation or conduct a
workshop or other educational activity.
Also attached for your information and use is a copy of the by-laws.
It is a living document and will be updated or revised as needed. The
annual membership fee will be due on October 1, 1997. Please make
sure to fill and mail the membership form along with your
payment. Our year, for all activities, is October 1 through September
30. We need your financial support to function in an orderly fashion
and succeed in our mission. Please help us generously.
Thank You,
K. N. Murthy
