Unfortunately, circumstances stemming from the economic downturn prevent us from offering our crayfish party this year. We do plan to hold it next year. However, we are looking forward to a great official start to our fall program with the arrival of our annual SACC-DC Golf Tournament on October 8, 2009 at Old Hickory Golf Club, with reception to follow at Amb. Hafström's official residence. Our Executive Manager, Maja Persson, worked especially hard this year along with our Golf Committee to secure sponsors for our tournament. We are therefore quite pleased to announce that Nammo AS has elected to become our Platinum sponsor for this year. Thank you Nammo for your kind generosity! Note to all members, we still have a few "hole sponsorships" remaining, which for the relatively modest sum of $500, you or your company can have its name on that hole and be featured in the promotional materials (not to mention how much it would help SACC-DC's coffers).

 

As you are now aware, Sweden assumed the EU Presidency on July 1st and, to no one's surprise, has taken an active major leadership role in policymaking on a variety of issues in the EU and globally. As you will see below, several events are planned for the fall with a direct or indirect connection to the EU Presidency. We hope that you can find the time to attend one or more of these events in this fall, as we promise that your enjoyment of belonging to SACC-DC will increase as you invest more time in participating while broadening your professional network. We look forward to seeing you soon.
