LAPEL PINS COMPETITION As you know the 1st Servas Youth international meeting was
held in January in PATAGONIA, Argentina. We made some amazingly lovely lapel pins.
Would you like one – oh competition is tight I have so few left.
To get one of these coverted pins and transform yourself into Mr/Ms Fashionable.
Tell me Pablo CHUFENI how many countries were represented at the Patagonia meeting.
Was it:
a) – 6 ,
b) – 9 ,
c) - 15.
Come on get into the fashion world – you know you want too!
Using the opportunity of this newsletter, I would like to congratulate the organisers of the extraordinary General Assembly for the good management of the event and the courage of the delegates to take important decisions securing the future of Servas International. Now that the delegates have elected the best candidates, the new Exco and committees have the important duty to implement GA decisions using the best available skills of the elected teams. I wish them good luck.
Alex Dali – (France).
