CARING AND SHARING, Newsletter 4
7th Annual Convention of ELEF

I think I am allowed to say in all your names yes, we are looking forward to go to Lisbon in November 1995.

As you can see from the next pages, the program is remarkable and will surely be very interesting.

If you have any proposals for subjects to be included in the council meeting please let me know before the 31th October 1995. I will then put them on the agenda.

I also ask you to prepare a presentation of your groups -there are 15 minutes for each country-. It would be helpful if you could bring a hard copy of your presentation with you, because it is easier to have it published in the newsletter.

We do not have the Faxnumbers of each group. If you have a Fax please let us know, also all the changes concerning your group as we are going to publish our new edition of the register after the Convention.

The tours mentioned in the programm are optional.
We will make the final arrangements with Rita during our stay in Portugal.
