Approval of Minutes

The minutes of the previous meeting were underway during the current meeting and we were all happy to hear that Ma Phyo Sandi Aung was trying her best to get it out in the following day.

Discussion and Business agenda item approval

Currently Ko Kyaw Min Oo is volunteering to write the minutes; however, when he is not available Ma Thin Wit Yee will take over, if both of them are not available someone will be assigned.

Ko Win Min, Ma Zaryi Myint Aung, Ma Ei Darli Myint Aung and some of the BYA members were there helping kids with some activities.

For September, most of BODs were able to commit to help out for each week except the day of September 10 to coordinate with YEP with the event.

Ma Myat Soe Mon will send invitation letter to YEP lead to see what kind of responsibilities were necessary for kids and teenagers to join the event.

Ko Zarni Tun will confirm with the follow up.

Ma Myat Soe Mon and Ko Kyaw Kyaw Soe had been working closely with SEA cultural festival group and the both came up some suggestions for how to participate for the upcoming event.

Ma Zargy Myint Aung, Ma Ei Darli Myint Aung, Ma Nandi Kyaw Min, Ma Myat Soe Mon will have some info to spread out within the BYA for prep.

It will be on September 10, 2011 Saturday and the event starts around 11:00 am, but most of the volunteers are expected to show up early for prep.

Although there was detail discussion, but the layout of what to do for the group need to follow up before the event due date. (Might be a phone conference calls or some event prep sheet need to send out to BODs and BYA).

BYA previous treasure Ma Thin Wit Yee worked with Ko Wai Phyo and Ko Kyaw Kyaw Soe. It had already submitted and waiting for interview time to go over whatever it might require to finalize the paper work.

Currently President Ko Kyaw Kyaw Soe and many BODs requested Ma Thin Wit Yee, Ma Myat Soe Mon and Ko Wai Phyo to help finished the application process. The goal is to have 501(c)3 before the end of this year.

Ko Win Min also mentioned BBQ lunch at Mary’s residence invited BYA in the late afternoon to a gathering and sharing info for upcoming Burmese American community activities.

Ko Wai Phyo propose to offer swan at the monastery in San Francisco for remembering Winnie Leong’s good merit to a good next life in September 5, 2011 and Ma Ei Darli Myint Aung will be coordinating a phone conference call for the donation and Swan offering at Lawkanartha monastery.

Overall, the meeting with Daphne Kwok is beneficial for BYA organization to work with her and also it was her first time meeting with Burmese American organization such as BYA and other organizations in Bay Area.

BYA should consider inviting her to Burmese American community and getting to know her more closely since she lives in San Francisco.
