WOSonOS - July 2008 San Francisco - Save the (general) Date(s)

Fri Jun 29 11:14:52 PDT 2007

Hi Lisa and the rest of the committee,

As an independant consultant, I have to say 
summer is certainly best for me. Usually, it is 
the period of year that is less busy and it may 
very well give me a chance to travel in sunny 
California. Even though it might cost more to 
travel, the financial impact will be less as 
chances are I won't be missing any paying contracts during that period.

So my vote goes to summer :-)

Thanks in advance to all for the organizing work! 
As a member of the committee organizing the first 
OSONOS in French in Val-David this fall, I know 
it's a lot of work. So thank you :-))

Esther
