‘Bring Your Own’ VTS Soiree
We will come together in person for the VTS56 Committee session at IALA HQ in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Some even may attend for the first time. Therefore it´s important to hold an old tradition for an ice breaker.
For this event on Monday 23, 17:30 CET (Paris local time) after work at the HQ, the entrance fee is to bring your own traditional drinks and foods from your country. It would be lovely to mingle and get to renew old friendships and make new ones.
Best wishes,
