Motivation.

E ku deede iwoyio,
I want to thank you all for our May`s meeting.
Thank you for the great support,contributions and donations.
It was an unbelievable experience of what the power
of will and love can do.However, I want you all to remember the motivational
remark on setting goals.This can never be overemphasized.
Robert Kiyosaki author of Rich Dad Poor Dad etc. 
(one of my favorite authors) put it this way in one of his books;
Step one: Identify the thing(s )you want.
Step two: Identify the price of that thing.
Step three: Pay the price.
Try as much as possible and as soon as possible to set
goals that are clear,challenging and obtainable.It is the first step to success.
My hope is that we will reach beyond our dreams and goals and be successful.

A o she asheyori o.
Olusegun,
President.

Meeting



E ku dede iwoyi o,
I want to thank you all for attending our April 28th meeting.
I appreciate your great contributions and the smoothness of the meeting.
I want to appeal to you all again to please tell and BRING people you may know,who are not attending that THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME THAN NOW. Tell them we love them and we need them.
Lastly, as mentioned in the meeting, let`s learn how to go extra mile
helping each other, which means doing everything within our power helping our fellow Nigerians. Let`s do it with kindness and compassion, humility, gentleness and patience even when we don`t get immediate or enough appreciation for it.The reward may come through another channel we may never dream of. Remember the Yoruba adage;
“Agbatan laa gbole,taa ba daso fole aa pa laro”
Oju rere ati anu Olodumare a ma wa pelu wa o.
Segun.
President.

Meeting

Hello everyone,
E ku dede iwoyi,
I want to thank you all for attending the first meeting of the year.
Thank you for your great contributions and the smoothness of the meeting. I will however appreciate if you could inform people you may know, who are not attending or still looking from outside that there has never been a better time to join us than now. Tell them we love them and we need them to come and be part of good things happening in the association. Please spread the news. To our regular members, like we mentioned in the meeting, let love for each other and the association be strong, then we can take the association to a great height together. Lastly as also mentioned in the meeting, let`s have "leave the campsite better than the way you found it" attitude which may be applied to every area of our lives. Use your gift to it`s fullest potential, contribute to the society and make the kind of imprint on the world, no matter how small it may be, like the good people who have gone before us.
Once again, thank you, and looking forward to seeing you in March.
Oke oke ni a o maa lo o
Segun.
President.

Happy Holidays!
Giving and receiving love is the spirit of the season, it should not be just for one day but for the whole year! 
As we are counting down to the end of 2013,I want you to take a deep breath and ask yourself these questions;
1.What have I accomplished this year that I`m proud of?
2. What have I learned from the journey so far?
3.How have I grown?
4. What is next?
Then you will be ready for the coming year and years after.
May God bless your home with peace, joy and love always.
Happy Holidays.
Segun.
