Communication - Funds Contribution

Objective:
This is regarding the social service activities carried out by some of our friends in the group. Though our friends has been contributing funds to help in this regard, we do not have a formalized list of volunteers. Also we want to create a commitment from our friends which will drive & motivate us in getting stabilized funds on a periodic basis.

Proposal:
We are planning to collect the funds thru different mode on a monthly basis. You can either hand over the amount that you want to donate every month to Veera (or thru any other person who could reach him) OR do an online transfer. Currently, we do not have a fixed account for our group for these activities separately. But we are working on the background to get an individual account dedicated for this which will happen pretty sooner. In the interim, we would like to use Karthik's account for any online transfer that you want to do.

Information:
Friends who live in India can make their online payment to ICICI account & those who live in US could transfer the funds to Bank of America account. Also please mention "Siding Funds" as the transaction remarks when you do an online transfer & send a mail immediately to Karthik mentioning the same @ rkarthik80@yahoo.com. Please remember that you can set an automatic fund transfer as monthly payments with the specified amount. Hence one time action will help in transferring funds automatically on a monthly basis.

Please send me mail for the account details.
rkarthik80@yahoo.com

Action Required:
Please reply to Karthik(rkarthik80@yahoo.com) with your Full Name, Account Number, Amount that you can contribute on a monthly basis, preferred mode of payment. Please remember that we do not have any minimum or maximum limit for this. Any contribution will help on this regard. We will appreciate if you could respond by 15-Sep.

Benefits:
This will help us in planning our activities much better. Helps the volunteers to contribute the funds in a easier way. Also helps us in committing to a expense that we can take care for any orphanages on a regular basis.

Reporting:
Karthik will be publishing the monthly report on the fund collection so that everyone is kept informed on the fund collected & how it was distributed for the social causes.

Thanks a ton for your continued support on all the activities & expecting the same in future as well. Your valuable suggestions are always welcome !
