We Could Still Carry On

Even if we do not have the funds, we could still carry on with the research and documentation of history and this we would do when we go to a particular place to attend other functions. When we have the funds we could improve on the facts and figures and re-write what we have witten.So guys get cracking with the job and come up with some documented history that we could further deliberate at our next meeting.
