But he stressed that it is important that COOPs be properly managed.Interim Management Committee Chairman, Orrin Gordon who was a former Chairman of LUSCSL said that the coop remains as relevant and important today as when it was established.Gordon said he wished that the society would continue to expand and grow.In alluding to some of the beleaguered times that the entity has gone through, after which it was taken back from the members and managed by an interim body,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticonline.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys Free[/url], Gordon said that the entity has shown its resilience and bounced back.He pointed out that there were going to be challenges, but urged members and staff to hold the Society as a beacon of sustenance and the cooperative spirit in Guyana.And yesterday,[url=http://www.cheapestnfljerseys.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys From China[/url], Mrs. Adams-Sharpe  and Mr.  Gordon turned the sod identifying the spot for the erection of a bus shed in the vicinity of the New Silver City Secondary School.

A donation will also be made to the church. The week of activities will culminate on May 5th with a Family Fun Day at the Bayrock Community Centre Ground for LUSCSL staff and society members.LUSCSL was officially handed back to its members,[url=http://www.nfljerseyscheaponline.us@#$%&/]Jerseys From China Online[/url], in August 2007,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticonline.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys NFL China[/url], after being managed by an interim body for two years. The new and present Committee of Management was installed by Minister Manzoor Nadir.The Minister had said then that Government had recommitted to the development of cooperatives, and would ensure that all societies are functioning or face possible dissolution.Recently government took control of more than twenty cooperative societies across the country, after evidence of irregularities and mismanagement surfaced. However LUSCSL continues to grow and recently established an electrical store and document centre on the ground floor of its Burnham Drive Offices. This latest economic venture is the second subsidiary to be established by LUSCSL. The first was a logging concession established several years ago.LUSCSL, formerly the Wismar/Christianburg Electricity Supply Cooperative Society, was registered in 1960, to supply electricity to its members,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysshare.us@#$%&/]Wholesale China Jerseys[/url], all of whom resided on the Wismar shore.The cooperative was established after some Demba employees approached the Company for electricity to be supplied to the residents of the Wismar Housing Scheme.The Cooperative was established with twenty-five members. Today membership has grown to approximately 4,800 persons. LUSCSL is one of the oldest Cooperatives in Guyana.
