Today is our last meeting for the year of 2008. All members are all excited. We also knew that durng this festive season, IZAQ will be taking a 2 weeks break as Christmas and New Year all falls on a Thu.

I am just wondering is this a good news or bad news? The good news is for the next 2 weeks, we can all sleep later but te bad news is that we will not be expecting any referrals for the next 2 weeks.

Nevertheless, lets look at our report card for the day:





Number of referrals : 39
Number of visitors : 4
Number of member present : 15
