Our first General Body Meeting of Monsoon Wooding 2008 was held at the Amphitheater, India Habitat Centre (New Delhi) on 14 May 2008. We had sent invites to people on Facebook and through word of mouth. It was heartening to see that despite the heat, around 25 enthusiastic volunteers turned up to brainstorm on how to initiate the campaign and take it forward.
After everyone introduced themselves, Vimlendu (Founder & Executive Director, Swechha) initiated the discussion by briefing everyone about the salient features and purpose of Monsoon Wooding.
We formed committees to plan and execute the various activities. We also discussed in detail, the first event of Monsoon Wooding 2008 - De-nailing trees around M-Block Market at GK I. This is a very posh and elite shopping area and a favorite hangout for the teenyboppers and college students. We also decided to sell saplings to people at GK I to spread the message of Monsoon Wooding and to raise funds for subsequent events. The meeting concluded on a high note with promises of support and active participation by all those present there.
