the response was slow at the start of the thread but with the collection day approcahing it shooted and we crossed our intended limits within no time.

I would also like to thank QRC for providing us the well equpped space for our collection and packing days.

Hello boyz and girlz, sorry for the late reply to the thread as i was busy with my personal work and it really feels good to be sitting in office after four days of running around :)

Thanks to everyone that showed up for the iftar drive as always it was a great experience and really got my year's quota of exercise lifting up heavy bags. Sorry couldnt wait for the iftar dinner and chit chat with everyone but the food looked yummy!

Speed on that note you owe me dinner in some nice Pakistani restaurant...when i get back of course :)

Eid mubarak everyone...my vacation starts today yippie! See you all when i get back inshallah.

Dear Volunteers,

First of all on behalf of QLVG/ ILQVG Committee members, I would like to say 'THANK YOU' to all of you who donated generously and who came yesterday for packing.

By your support, we have received a great response, initially our target was to reach 1,000 Iftar packets. But yesterday itself we had crossed our target, still we have today (Friday) further people coming to drop off their donations at QRC office.

We are expecting to reach 1,500 packets for the Iftar Drive. (Inshah'Allah).

Note for Volunteers confirmed for Packing and Distribution:

Collection and Packing day:

- Today (Friday, 03.09.2010) is last day for Collection and Packing. Please bring your donations by 9:00PM at QRC office.

Distribution day:

- Tomorrow (Saturday, 04.09.2010) All the Volunteers who have confirmed their names to help us in distribution of 'Iftar Packet' on the streets. Please reach QRC office sharp at 4:30PM.

Refreshments and Dinner for Volunteers:

- After distribution, our QV memeber 'PITSTOP' has arranged Iftar Dinner for all the Volunteers in QRC office. After distribution we all will come back to QRC office to offer Maghrib Prayers and then Iftar Dinner - Inshah'Allah.

For directions and any further query please contact:

Khanan: 77303009

SPEED: 77880086

Jazak'Allah Khair and God Bless You All.

sorry for my ignorance Speed but what is ILQVG?

By azilana7037• 2 Sep 2010 15:57
azilana7037

If you really READ my post...THE TOPIC (that I want out of) WAS ILQVG was mentioned (and edited later) in the title...which I suggested (and was done---thank you very much) to be removed coz hey...you're on QL :P

Did you read that part where I posted/said I was with the FIRST AND THE SECOND/LAST Iftar Distribution campaign? I think not.

You just assume that since I didn't confirm with donating anything, I won't show up....that is not nice.

Last time, I wasn't available for the collection and/or packing before but I did show up during the distribution...right?

BTW, Khanan's list is numbered...I'm in #3 which is good with me...coz Khanan and SPEED knows I'm gonna show up for this like before.

When I saw YOUR UPDATED list...my name wasn't there anymore coz you haven't read my confirmation...so what do you call that, if not getting my name "bumped off the list"?

I said it wasn't nice..that's what I thought of it and like I said, if it rocks your boat...just an expression that I don't really mind...

@SPEED : You know why I'm not THAT visible as before but I do show up when I can. As I said, I was with you guys in the first two, so what reason why I won't be for thiss one...right? :)

By SPEED• 2 Sep 2010 15:49

Speed lets not complicate the list, those who are volunteering/packing/distribution etc, we'll make a actual list of those that turn up during packing, coz from past experience people say they are coming and dont turn up and sometimes MORE people turn up, so there's no point really in maintaining such a list. An actual head count can be done on packing and distribution day.

What was important was to see the number of items we need and if our target was met.

By smoke• 2 Sep 2010 08:48
smoke

Azzy relax there's no need for making accusations, no one was bumped off anything. the list i made is with people who actually confirmed they would come or would be donating. I just saw that your name is in Khanans list and i must have missed the part where you said you'd participate or donate something.......oh wait you didnt did you? On contrary you just said you are "out of this topic" which i assumed meant you weren't taking part.

simple misunderstanding and no one's rocking any boats here. Please confirm ur participation and I'll add you to the list :)

Azi name was listed number 3 for the 1st & 2nd update of list.. please observe 3rd list update.....

Agreed with Rizks for once he used his bald head for giving a suggestion. Since albadr is the one that can get the discount for us perhaps we can give him the money to buy it.

By SPEED• 29 Aug 2010 09:39

Regarding Dates....

Albadr11 has found dates packet in the market. Each packet contains 5 pieces of dates and the packet cost QR. 2 riyals in the market. If we buy in bulk (say 1,000 packets) as per Albadr11 he will be able to get discount of QR 1 riyal.

Instead of everyone buying different kinds of dates. I will strongly recommend you to contact 'albadr11' thru PM. He will guide you where to buy these dates.

I will try to post the photos of the dates packet soon for your information.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY STICKY DATES.

I have no problems with that...since I was with the first 2 iftar campaigns.

Maybe a re-title to the topic is in order...make it QLVG coz said group started it.

Then on the topic fitself, we could say, in unity with the ILQVG. Putting both group in the title head makes it like promoting another website.

Maybe I'm just fussing about nothing but the MODS do delete or edit anyone posting of another website before...so, is it different now?

My opinion only...ignore it...
