The Anambra branch of AMLSN, on Saturday, 21st
March, 2015 held a very successful Fund Raising/ Award Luncheon at Hall of
Honour, Suncity Hotels, Awka.
The event was held to reward excellence as found in some
distinguished members and friends/lovers of the association as well as to raise
fund for the building of a secretariat for the Anambra State Branch of AMLSN,
in Awka, the state capital.
Speaking in his welcome address at the colourful event, the
State Chairman of AMLSN, Anambra Branch, Comr. Obi A.A. stated that the event
was the first of its kind in the annals of the association. He stated that the

no office to call its own. He stated that the secretariat when built shall
provide offices for the State Executive Officers(SEOs), serve as meeting venue
for SEOs, Committee Meetings and State Assembly. There will also be a hall which
can also be rented out to members of the public to help generate fund for the
association.

Laboratory Scientist in the Management of Public Health Diseases,” the Guest

key to preventing and combating public health diseases.
