Dear friends, Please find enclosed the agenda for our next meeting on Saturday afternoon. You may know that we have encountered problems in organizing the sports festival. We need to decide whether to cancel or postpone it. On the positive side, the activities have picked up very well since the youth exchange became feasible. The young people are now very active in preparing it. There is some jealousy from other young people (of course those that did not find it interesting at the beginning), but we may use this as a factor for developing other activities with them. We need to recruit a project assistant to deal with the finances and help in the secretariat. Interesting as it may seem, we have received a phone call and a letter from the police office inviting us for a meeting to study ways in which ‘we can cooperate, for each other’s sake’. This is getting really interesting! Many things to decide and discuss. We are busy preparing brief reports and trying to finish the provisional accounts. Anyway, have a nice day. Please don’t show up late. We may have lunch together if no one objects. See you! Dali and Matto.
Agenda • Feed-back from the youth exchanges and perspectives for the return trip.
