The Meeting commenced at 10:15 AM with the National Anthem and the Thamil Valzthu followed by 2 minutes of silence in memory of the Members who passed away during the year under review.

1. Welcome Address

The President, Mr. Shiva Pasupati welcomed the Members to the twenty-second Annual General Meeting. He gave an overview of some of the main activities that were conducted such as yoga classes on 1

st and 3

rd

Thursday of every month, arts & craft, indoor games, cultural celebrations, excursions followed by fellowship lunches Amutha Surabi that relieved members from rushing to catch buses to get home in time for their midday meal and speeches by renowned speakers on a variety of topics. He also thanked those members who celebrated their special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries at the Centre which complemented the Amutha Surabi lunches. He informed the members of the efforts being taken to establish a Housing Cooperative. Two meetings with the Housing Minister were very encouraging but unfortunately a sudden change in the Minister had slowed the progress. But information from the ministry indicated that this matter would be revisited early in 2014 and the President was hopeful of favourable outcomes for the establishment of a Housing Cooperative. This needs to be pursued since the Association wished to include the construction of a Hall as part of this project for which we have accumulated a reasonable sum of money. He expressed the view that the combined effect of all these activities contributed immensely to the overall health and well-being of the Members whilst also promoting a sense of fellowship and goodwill in the community.. He thanked Mr Naguleswaran for taking the position of Assistant Treasurer and computerizing the accounts. He thanked Mrs Padma Thangarajah not only for producing an excellent Uravu but contributed towards catering and with members of her family organized cultural events. He thanked Kunaseelan for taking the responsibility of the web site as well as acted as our photographer. He thanked Mrs Thisairasa for her contribution to the Arts and Crafts exhibition each and every year with the able support of Mr Thisarasa. Mrs Vasuki Mahadeva was then thanked for contribution in singing and lunch organization. Mrs Krishnasamy, Manickarajah, Sivasooriyar and Nadarajah were then thanked for their contributions. He also thanked Murugesu and Thambirajah non committee members who had the welfare of the association in mind for their enormous support. The General Manager and Mayor of Strathfield were thanked for all the support TSCA received throughout the year. The auditor Mr Sivathondan’s services both as Auditor and Returning Officer were acknowledged with grateful thanks. He thanked the members for their support and requested that it be extended to the incoming committee headed by Col Ramanathan. In conclusion he referred to the high praise Marlene of the West Seniors club had mentioned at the council meeting and wished that our actions will continue

in such an exemplary manner to set an example to others. 2. Minutes of Previous Meeting Minutes of the last Annual General Meeting held on Saturday, 29 September 2012 were confirmed. Proposed by Col. V. Ramanathan and seconded by Mr. S. Wijayaratnam.

3. .Annual Report for 2012/13 The Annual Report for 2012/13 by the Committee of Management gave a comprehensive coverage of TSCA’s performance during the year under review. In presenting the Report, the Secretary, Mr. M. Kangatharan highlighted some of the salient features which included the following:

• A total of 14 Committee meetings were held during the year. • Conducted a number of cultural events and also Harmony day; • A very successful Grand Childrens Day; • Yoga classes conducted by Acharya Dhanaraj

assisted by Sharma and Sarojini Nallanthuwan and will be continued under the new Committee as per assurances given by the incoming President;

• Received a grant of $2000.00 and an up to date computer for our Seniors Kiosk;

• The membership fees was raised to $ 20.00 from $15.00. Although some members had expressed anxiety over this, on the long run in keeping up with inflation the Association will benefit;

Consultant & Interventional Cardilogist, delivered a talk on

“Matters of the Heart”. He explained in detail, the step-by-

step process that may lead to a heart attack and the major risk

factors namely high blood pressure, high

cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Most heart attacks are the end result of coronary heart

disease, a condition that clogs coronary arteries with fatty,

calcified plaques. He explained the functions of the heart by a

diagram of the circulatory system and indicated that pairing a

healthy diet with regular exercise is the best way not only to

prevent heart disease, but to reverse some risks.

29.5.14 - The Youth Group from the C3 Church,

Toongabbie delivered the Message of Easter through

drama and mime. Although Christmas is the most

celebrated Christian holiday, Easter is by far the most

important event in the life of Christ, for He came to die

for the sins of mankind, be buried and rise again on the

third day for our justification. This is the Gospel message

in a nutshell. Rev. Mithiran Chellappa delivered a talk on

Easter. The Church also hosted lunch.

awareness and management” . In his speech he emphasized

that diabetes can be prevented or delayed by following a

healthy lifestyle. Similarly, people who have been diagnosed

with type 2 diabetes can manage their condition with healthy

lifestyle modifications and/or medication, as determined by

their healthcare professionals. He said that we can manage

diabetes by maintaining healthy weight, regular physical

activity, making healthy food choice, keeping blood pressure

and cholesterol within normal limits. For most of us, listening

to his speech was the first step toward living a healthy life.

Broad Band for Seniors - Kiosk Way back in 2011 Santhiran made a case with the Government of Australia for TSCA to be permitted to host a Computer Kiosk providing Broadband for Seniors. Since this Committee took over in September 2013, there was no request from any source to use the Kiosk facilities at our registered TSCA Office. The Committee decided to bring these computers to Bates Street for the use by our seniors every Thursday. With this move the Association contracted for a separate WI-FI mobile internet connection. The computers were installed at Bates Street on 17th July 2014 and is available for use by our Seniors. All aspects of Computing like email, surfing the net and writing letters in Word are now available for our seniors. Volunteers are at hand to train, guide, direct and answer any queries. The Management Committee also decided to extend the use of the Computer Kiosk to the Strathfield Inner West Seniors. With their acceptance the Kiosk is now open for use on Mondays as well.

10. Financial Aspects Grant Funds A total of $2,500 was received during the year by way of grant funds. The $ 500.00 grant by the Strathfield Municipal Council has been fully expended for the purposes for which they were approved namely Arts & Craft and Grand Children’s Day. However the $ 2000 grant for the Kiosk remains untouched since the purpose for which it was granted cannot be easily met limited by the restrictions that it could be spent on expenses related to volunteer tutors only. If it is not utilized by December 31st 2014 it needs to be refunded. Charity Members rose to the occasion by making voluntary cash donations totaling $970 for the Unifund Project to support deserving university students in the Northern Province, Sri Lanka. 11. Acknowledgements The Management Committee has great pleasure in gratefully acknowledging the contributions made by individuals in various ways enabling us to accomplish our tasks to the best of our ability. .

Concluding Remarks TSCA has completed twenty three years of its existence successfully and is ready to embark on its journey into the twenty fourth year. Our President has been at the forefront working towards making this Association a robust, friendly and vibrant organization. The meticulous care he took to present the events almost each and every Thursday during the year is not very easy to emulate. It was our fortune that such a colossus volunteered to lead us. I personally and trust the Management Committee will join me, sincerely thank him for his enormous and ungrudging support to this Association. The financial progress this year was mainly due to measures he instituted such as reducing the Newsletter to 2 issues. This trend, I trust will be maintained by the incoming committee, to ensure we continue successfully into the future. On behalf of the Management Committee and on my own personal behalf as Secretary of the Association, I wish to record my deep appreciation and gratitude for the trust and confidence you have placed in us in all our endeavours. We wish the organization and each and every one of the members a bright future in the coming years and walk head held high.
