Dearest Alumni
Once again, I was overwhelmed by your positive and warm responses to the last Newsletter, there were so many, that I really did not have the time to answer you all. Please know that I am so happy that you are enjoying receiving our GIMI news.
I have not added too many photographs to the first page of the news, but please make sure that you click READ MORE, as there you will find many photographs and further information.
I do hope that you enjoy our Newsletter and please do remember to let us know, if you have any news you would like to be put in the next one.
My thanks as always to Co-Editor Eyal Weissbuch; without Eyal this Newsletter would not be possible.
Warmest regards from all here,
