Already the group has been registered, acquiring its tax ID number as a non-profit organization and bank account. It is using Exit Realty Lifestyle real estate company on Jamaica Avenue as its temporary base.
A meeting for all executive officers and interested members of the public is slated for next Saturday from April 9 from 1pm at Exit Realty on 215-15 Jamaica Avenue, Queens Village.
Updated plans will be made at the meeting including those for the staging of the group’s first activity of two limited overs games in Guyana later this year to honor ex opening batsman Andrew Lyght who died a few years ago.
