Dear Fellow South Africans Welcome back to everyone fortunate enough to have spent Christmas and/or New Year's on holiday with family and friends either here or abroad. Sooner than we thought it is time yet again to get back to work, back to school and back to whatever else it is that fills up our diaries. May this be a blessed new year for you and your family. I want to take this opportunity to apologize for the cancellation of our planned New Years Bash. For some reason we have underestimated the popularity of this particular date and could not find any appropriate venue for the best part of 3 months ahead of time. I promise that we will be more proactive this year and strive to make it a reality at the end of 2008. The SASCOM committee will be meeting up within the next couple of weeks to finalize the exciting events planned for the next few months. Details will be put on the web as soon as it has been discussed, agreed, diarized and finalized. We guarantee a year jam packed with fun events for the whole family. Mags is also steaming up several great ideas for the Ladies Coffee Mornings for the next few months. Our first Coffee Morning will be held on Thursday, 17 January 2008. Please keep an eye on the Coffee Shoppe tab on the website for the details that will be posted soon. Just a reminder that we are planning to wean the community off the e-mail advertising system and trying to encourage everyone to save our webpage as a favorite on their web browser to stay updated. In the next few months I will start sending e-mails containing only the web address to encourage everyone to find the details of the appropriate event on the website rather than depending on the current e-mail system. The database will ultimately only be used for emergency and/or urgent communications to the community. We look forward to your continued support and participation. Please feel free to forward any comments, suggestions, complaints and constructive criticism to welgemoeds@qatar.net.qa. Kind regards Lody Welgemoed Chairperson: SASCOM
