An Update for PTI members and Friends

DEAR PTI MEMBERS AND FRIENDS

SINCE WE MET IN JUNE 2008 WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A NUMBER OF ITEMS TO ORGANIZE OURSELVES BETTER.

WE HAVE APPROACHED VOLUNTEERS AND ON-BOARDED 60 REGIONAL COORDINATORS. Â WE HAVE SETUP AN INDEPENDENT PTI BANK ACCOUNT WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE BY PTI FINANCE SECRETARY IN PAKISTAN. Â WE HAVE SETUP A PTI POBOX SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE YOUR CORRESPONDENCE AND WE HAVE PUT A STRUCTURE AROUND OUR COMMUNICATION SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE Â YOUR VIEWS, FEEDBACK AND WE CAN START DISCUSSION BLOGS. WE ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF DRAFTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WHICH WILL ENABLE US TO BE MORE ORGANIZED AND EFFICIENT.

WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP US WITH SPREADING THE WORD AND INCREASING OUR MEMBERSHIP. Â PTI MEMBERS CAN ELECT TOÂ PAY THE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE,Â SETUP A DIRECT DEBIT ANDÂ SPONSOR EVENTS OR DONATE.

WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO ORGANIZE AN EVENT IN JULY 2008 – YOU WILL BE UPDATED AS SOON AS THE VENUE AND DATE HAS BEEN FINALIZED. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR IF YOU CAN HELP ORGANIZE EVENTS / FUND RAISERS / POLITICAL DEBATES THEN PLEASE DO LET US KNOW.

IN SEPTEMBER, AFTER THE HOLIDAY SEASON, WE WILL BE HOLDING A PTI GENERAL MEETING FOR MEMBERS ONLY. Â THIS WILL BE AN INTERACTIVE SESSION WHERE WE WILL REQUEST VOLUNTEERS TO PREPARE A TOPIC OR SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ALL. THIS WILL GIVE ALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND SHARE THEIR FEELINGS / VIEWS.

AS YOU KNOW, OUR PARTY’SÂ MOTTO IS ‘JUSTICE’ , HUMANITY AND SELF ESTEEM WHICH IS THE RIGHT OF EVERY CITIZEN OF PAKISTAN LIVING IN PAKISTAN OR ABROAD. Â OUR PARTY IS COMMITTED TO POLITICAL STABILITY AND SOCIAL REFORMS.

WE NEED YOUR HELP IN THE UK TO SPREAD PTI”’”S MESSAGE; Â WE NEED YOUR HELP IN INCREASING OUR MEMBERSHIP; WE NEED YOUR HELP IN MAKING PTI A PARTY THAT AT LEAST CAPTURES 10% OF THE POPULATION OF ALL PAKISTANIS LIVING IN THE UK. THE MORE WE GROW THE MOREÂ INFLUENCEÂ WE CAN EXERT AND MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD TO INFLUENCE DECISIONS AT THE GOVERNMENT LEVEL. THE CURRENT SITUATION IN PAKISTAN IS VERY UNCERTAIN.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER I.E. WHERE YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FORÂ ON-BOARDING.Â WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING YOU ALL TO SEE IF YOU CAN WITH THE HELP OF THE LOCAL COORDINATOR ORGANIZE MEETINGS IN YOUR AREAS WHERE WE CAN MEET YOU ALL AND SHARE YOUR VIEWS AND CONCERNS.
