We invite everyone to bring along your family and friends to kick start our celebrations in style as this will be an unforgettable event. Let me take this opportunity to thank each one of you who have contributed a great deal and worked very hard to keep this association afloat. Congratulations and a ‘’Happy 40th Anniversary’’. Let the celebrations begin! Finally, from here on, I wish nothing but the best for our association and I envision a great future.
