The day AGM was held, you(Mr. Waqar) mentioned that PANZ spent money when the sports minister was here with the polo team money was spent on the dinner which was held at Punjabi Dhaba in Botany. Money was taken from the member of PAKISTANI COMMUNITY who also attended the dinner. Where is that money accounted for?????? Any explainations?
No A blunt up front No makes lot easy for organizer to organise a debt free event , rather then false promises . That's what happened to PANZ in Minister dinner , a few people did not turned up and did not notice in time to cancel their reservations in restaurants, despite their promise because its casts $30 per head or else
Respected Community Memeber Yes I have explainations of Minister dinner: Our Budget was NZ$ 2,800.00 and we had already booked for 80 persons including 15 guests at the rate of $30 per head. 65 community memebers promissed to attend that dinner. We received payment from 53 members in advanced and I think you know better that per person how much we charged. other 12 members promised to pay at the restaurant, when they will be there and we had already booked for 80 persons. Unfortunately these 12 members started to text me on same day when dinner was going on that " Sorry we can't come to attend the dinner", while thay knew that PANZ have to pay for 80 persons, which has been arranged before one week. PLUS: After dinner approx. 15 community members were stay there with Minister and guests just for chitt chat and our one of our Well-Wisher start to passed the orders for kulfi, Ice Cream, Juices, Tea and drink without to thinking that who will pay for that, while these items were not included in menu. In the end paid by PANZ and who sacrificed ? I am ! yes I paid $300 from my pocket and balace paid by panz account . Total amount collected $2,150 My friend what about those 12 members who booked there seats and than ignored it. If you need more satisfaction and want to see paid invoices to Punjabi Dhaba Restaurant please contact me I will give you all invoices and collection prove . Regards Syed Waqar Ali (PANZ)
