Dear PP members,
Purposeful Penny got certified as of December 14, 2009. Thank you to all of you for your help and support for the registration process. I especially appreciate all office bearers, Khurram, Aya, and Alla for their commitment for creating and revising the constitution. Without their help, we might have not finished this work so effectively and professionally.Following is the official acceptance letter and notice from SORC office. Hope to see you all on Friday.
Yours,
Jonathan

Your group will need to recertify before 12/14/2010 or WHEN OFFICERS CHANGE. If you fail to recertify, your group's status will become inactive and you will lose access to email, web space, space in the WPU, access to funding, etc.
