Honouring Uncle Boni!

Retirement of Hon Gen Secretary Joseph "Boni" De Souza

Dear Member,

It is with great sadness that I, on behalf of the General Committee wish to announce the retirement of Joseph De Souza, popularly known as "Boni" or "Uncle BON" from the post of Hon General Secretary of the Association after 46 years of serving the association.

All of you would know Boni and he has been a pillar of the Association. He knows each one of you personally as a friend and SAFTEA without him will seem strange. Generations of members will know him as the front man for the Association for all these years.

The reason for this letter besides announcing his retirement, I, on behalf of the General Committee would like you to attend an appreciation cum farewell lunch for our dear Boni  on Sunday the 25th August 2013 from 12.30pm. We hope that you will come in large numbers and tell your friends who knows Boni to come along for the luncheon to show your appreciation and friendship to someone who has contributed much to the Association.

Entrance to the luncheon costs RM30.00 with 2 bands in attendance. I would also like to appeal to you for any monetary contribution so that the we as his friends can give him a token of our eternal gratitude.

Kindly call the office at 21483107 to make your bookings. Kindly treat this as a personal invitation. Looking forward to seeing you and your family on the 25th August.

Yours in service of the community,

Sheila E De Costa
President
