The snow is gone - time for outdoor sports
 
Eight international chambers of commerce have joined forces to organize a grand football event taking place in the end of May.
Even though we defeated our Scandinavian brothers in the autumn, the challenge is oh, so much greater this time. In order to defend the red and white colors, I encourage you all to take the opportunity of the lovely spring weather - get out there, do some sports, play football, run and just have fun! Get in shape for the big day!
 
Sincerely,
Merli Lindberg
