Dear Friends,
This is Col Kumar...I attended the Vijay Diwas at Bangalore with my wife, and from then on began to enroll members into IESM in full swing. As a VCO's daughter (veteran from the II WW) she too enthusiastically participated in the drive. Together we have enrolled around 200 members within this short period of twenty days, (still going on strong) and I am very sure that an impetus has been the lowered fees. More forms have been handed out and we are awaiting their return and are on the follow up.
This reduced fees initiated by Col Rajan has been truly effective in creating a picture that we are keen on increased membership for strength and solidarity and not just finances of the org alone. Secondly, word is going around that the fees have been reduced...and it would take sometime to register this and create a reaction...we do not want to dissappoint those who came to hear of this 'late' by feeling that they have sort of 'missed the bus'. I am now beginning to get calls from interior districts too, asking about where to get the form to register, etc.
As some of us opine, perhaps delinking the move to increase the number of members from fund-raising drive could really be very meaningful.
I request that the lowered fees remain so at least until we have achieved our target of having suffcient number of new members enrolled and the difference registered as "before" and "after".
With warm regards and a keen interest in the task ahead,
Col N A Kumar
