Welcome dear members,

To your right you can see group photos on the regional meeting this year in Bangkok and below on the regional European meeting in Paris.

Besides the fact we are promoting such meetings to make communication among members more aware and bring our relations between members more close, especially sales staff, we want YOU to give more information to the LINK organisation.

How can we do that? As I explained  many times, please sent me some editiorial message in words and a digital photo and we will publish it on the LINK website. It is up to you if the message is public or confidential between members only.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank some of the members who did sent some messages. Recently I received a message from our previous partner in India, FlyJac that gave a warning about some vessels that collided in the entrance of Mumbay port and caused congestion and delay.

I also created a message about the disaster in Pakistan, I feel the least we can do is show eveyone and try to motivate the entire world to donate for these poor and helpless people in Pakistan.

We had some problems with the website in inserting photos and sometimes even editorials, it took both Mr Kumaran and myself a lot of effort to repair this and solve the issues with the provider.

It is our aim for the next period after the AGM 2010 and into 2011 to make more use of the LINK website.

One of the commitment undersigned is making, is the fact that I will push and keep promoting each month another member to get more publications and promotion on the involved member.

As you are all preparing the next AGM in beautiful Istanbul, you can discuss and prepare your new suggestions together with your staff at home and bring it to Istanbul for the meeting.

Looking forward to see you all in September in Turkey, have a safe trip!
