We warmly invite you to MaLGRA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM)—a day of community, connection, and creativity! This year, we’re making it extra special with a Teddy Bears’ Picnic to start the day. 🧸✨
What’s Happening:
- Teddy Bears’ Picnic (11:00 AM - 12:30 PM):
Bring your favourite teddy bear (or any plush companion) and enjoy a fun-filled picnic with fellow MaLGRA members and friends. The event accommodates both indoor and outdoor picnicking, ensuring everyone can enjoy the day regardless of the weather.
- AGM (1:00 PM onwards):
After the picnic, we’ll move into the formal part of the day with
our AGM. This is your opportunity to hear about MaLGRA’s achievements, updates, and plans for the year ahead. Share your ideas, voice your opinions, and contribute to shaping the future of our organisation.
🌈 What to Bring:
- Your favourite teddy bear or plushie 🐻
- A picnic blanket (optional) 🧺
- Snacks or treats to share for the picnic (optional) 🍪🥪
- Enthusiasm for the day ahead! 🎉
