Dear all,
thank you for your kind emails.
I am also very proud of our chapter and thankful that I was allowed to work with you.

Wünderbar, Wonderful, Formidable, Maravilhoso, Meraviglioso, Fantastico, Loistava, Dejlig, Fantastisk, etc.

Many thanks and congrats to the most effective, dedicated and imaginative officers, and active members.

And most special thanks and congrats to Isabella.

To be frank, when we started the chapter, I could hardly dream of seeing EC becoming chapter of the year.

I am so glad this happen before I go to another planet ... :-)

Bestest
