Dear all, I suggest Beatrice and Okuti to spearhead the ground breaking ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION for Westinile THINK TANK Strategy in April,with a tendative date and requirements.Talking without Action makes Sam a DULL Boy.Let us stop knowing each other in Social media but get down to the physical for seeing is believing,including the Forum Administrator because we may be networking with Ghosts in this era. The ball and playing ground has been given, we only need a Referree ready with Teams and Coaches. Happy Easter. Cliff
