Good day friends,
I trust this message finds you well and safe.
I'm writing to invite you to the Wikimedia South Africa Annual General
Meeting (AGM) which will take place this coming Saturday, *25 September
2021 beginning from 10 am (South African Standard Time)*.
The chapter was established in 2012 by volunteers like you to support the
South African Wikimedia community and its languages, outreach programms,
and advocacy work as well as to organize ourselves to make it easy to
receive funding. Every year, we apply and receive funding from the
Wikimedia Foundation and other organisations, including donations made by
other Wikimedians. As a chapter, we are only stewards of these funds, the
rightful owners are you! Meaning we always strive to exercise transparency
and accountability in the way we spend them.
In this regard, we would like to share with you our chapter's activities
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WM_ZA/Activity_Report_2020-21>, celebrate
milestones achieved over the Covid19 financial period, and hear from you on
how best we can reach out and support volunteers in South Africa and
neighboring countries. We would also like to take this opportunity to elect
a new board, I need to stress that any active Wikimedian or reader of
Wikipedia can nominate someone or themselves to sit on the
WikimediaZA board.
