RESOLUTION REACHED FROM THE GROUPS FOR A BETTER Y’S DOM.

  
      Towards fostering an up-mobile movement and acknowledging the duty that accompanies every right, the Convention approved the following resolutions on:

 B.  HOW DO WE ACHIEVE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN  OUR  MOVEMENT?

                BENEFITS

    
       
Ø      Breaking of language barriers.
Ø      Sharing of ideas and widening of club horizon.
Ø      Educational increase and exposure on Y’s dom.
Ø      Cultural exposure, awareness and brotherhood.
