Top on their agenda was how they would be able to thank Fr Rory O'Brien of St Charles Borromeo Parish Fuanantui for brining their grandfather's life to the limelight, a feat that had eluded the attention of the Catholic hierarchy for close to 40 years until his arrival.

This fund will assist members in cases of both fortune and misfortune. Nke Valentine and Tibam John were charged with drawing up the bounding rule for the use of this fund. An account for this purpose have to be opened in MC2 Njinikom. To man the organisation for the moment the following were elected: Mrs Nchoji Beatrice (Chairperson), Tibam John Madi'tia (Secretary), Eucharia Yichaam (Treasurer), Nke Valentine (Public Relations Officer).
