MAABN meeting at the British Council
Dear Charlie,
As you know, last night, we were invited to the January networking Thursday of the MAABN at the British Council.(Not British Consulate, as Quentin can well-testify ;-p)
I'm sorry, you couldn't make it. We had a great time
I'd like to thank Anne Bell, director of the British Council, for her kind welcome and the MAABN members, in particular the MAABN presidents, Richard Bower and William Peterson, for their warm support.
And of course I'd like to thank our students, Alicia, Loic, Nathan, Quentin & Tiphaine for coming and representing our Section so well.
Best,
Mrs. C

Great work, isn't it?
What I find hilarious is that so many of them say, they're lazy while being in a Section where you have to work a lot and very hard. I guess, it shows that "When there's a will, there's a way..."
Best,
