Imo State Men Association of Southern California, USA started their meeting for the year on a glorious note on Sunday with plans for a scholarship scheme amongst other laudable programs.
The body at its first meeting of the year thanked God for the journey mercy granted her members who travelled back home to Nigeria for the yuletide even as it drew up plans for the year 2025.
President of the body, Dr Leo Njemanze who virtually every member commended for his exemplary leadership reeled out plans for the year.
Njemanze who is from Amawom , Owerri Nchi Ise autonomous community (Owerri Municipal) said the body would embark on what he called ‘aggressive membership drive’.
He further disclosed that the body has resolved to introduce a scholarship scheme for children of members which would be given out purely on merit and not on the basis of senatorial zones.
He stressed that the group would do more in the area of her outreach program even as he urged members to donate to the worthy course.
As a way of ensuring the proper bonding of members, Njemanze said they would organize a picnic and an end of the year get together.
He stressed that the body would adhere strictly to her status and constitution and remain apolitical.
The body resolved at Sunday’s meeting to hold its next session via zoom in February. Chief (Sir) Celestine Njoku said the closing prayer.
