Extraordinary GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2006

eGA2006 Update No. 12

Dear National Secretary, Area Coordinator and participants to EGA2006

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU WILL REQUIRE FOR ATTENDING EGA2006 AT LATINA

We are only two weeks away from the commencement of EGA2006 at Latina, Italy.

A considerable amount of planning has gone into this General Assembly by many dedicated Servas members globally. I am confident that the time, effort and hard work given by these members will culminate in a highly efficient General Assembly.

For some of you, this will be your very first General Assembly. I personally believe that it is important that each one of you participating in the EGA arrive at Latina with some knowledge as to what a General Assembly is all about.

With this in mind I am listing here some of the Exco websites which you can access, to gain the information you will require for Latina.
