Wana-Fitness,
Hello everyone! It’s still January and hence still in order to say Happy New Year 2016 to each one of us, from myself and the Executive Committee (ExCo). We would further like to thank each one of us who participated in or supported our activities in 2015, which made it such a successful year. Remember in 2015 we took a record number of 59 participants for the Stanchart Nairobi Marathon, ahsanteni!
To kickstart the 2016 bit of our 2015/2016 calender of events, the ExCo has now met (Tuesday Jan 19) to deliberate on the same. For a start, here are the events to look out for:
1. A beginning-of-year lunch is planned for mid-February in which our Patron (DVC-Admin) will be formally introduced as we also celebrate with her our recent successes. Once the lunch-date is confirmed, you shall be duly informed.
2. Our Fitness Welfare was born in March 2006, meaning that in a few weeks, we shall be clocking 10 years. That is no mean feat, and we have indeed grown in leaps and bounds in those ten years. That is reason enough for celebration. The celebrations are planned for 2 days away from Nairobi, i.e., Saturday April 2 and Sunday April 3.
As a way of thanksgiving, it is proposed that we conduct a charity event like having lunch and fun-games at a children’s home on Saturday. We shall then have dinner and a sleep-over. On Sunday, we go sight-seeing as we return home later in the evening. The towns floated so far to fit into the proposed programme include Nakuru and Nanyuki. The ExCo is inviting more proposals (ideally within 300 km of Nairobi to avoid spending too much time on travel). Once the proposals are in, the ExCo shall sit again to work on the finer details which shall then be communicated.
Kindly email your proposed/preferred destination by Wednesday Jan 27 and meanwhile, be kindly advised to start putting some money aside for the 10th anniversary so that we can have a most memorable time then.
Wishing each one of us a most successful year in Fitness as well as our other endeavours.
