Dear SAS Members

We have been off to a good start into the new Club year. A group of 20 hikers enjoyed a Sunday in Kennesaw Mountain Park, and the Ladies’ Luncheons group was treated to a Barbeque by Marie-Claire Hunn at the Consular residence – thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality!

The next BIG event is of course the National Day Celebration on Saturday, August 5 - see invitation. We hope for a great turnout and hope you don’t have to miss this highlight.
