 Achievements in different spheres
Estonia has been invited to become a member of the OECD, an organization established in 1961, comprising 31 world's wealthiest economies and democratic states. Also, a step forward has been made in Estonia's accession to €-zone since the European Commission and the European Central Bank have given its blessing with a positive evaluation for us. Oh, shall we say "Congrats!"?
Not a bit less important, is the fact that the weather has finally got warmer and that definately brings more smiles to everyone's face :)
Moreover, there're more friendly football matches taking place before the BIG day on May 22nd at the chambers' football tournament. Everyone who has not yet got enrolled, there is still time to do so!

International Chambers of Commerce's Football Tournament 2010 - powered by Sampo Pank
Date/ Place: May 22nd, 12:00-18:00, Sportland Arena (Lillek�la, Tallinn)
 8 major international chambers of commerce have decided to join forces in organizing a grand sport event to compare the fitness level of the chamber members. Last autumn, we had a friendly football match with the Swedes that we won! This time we will face 7 other teams - Americans, Brits, Finns, Germans, Spaniards, Swedes and a team from the Int Junior Chamber of Commerce. It shall not be an easy road to heaven, but we'll try to make it anyway.
The matches will start exactly at noon. There will be a food&drink stand next to the stadium to distinguish one's hunger and thirst; there will be enough footballs rolling around for everyone to touch the ball; there will be enough to cheer and enjoy for all of us. Come with a whole family and spend the day at a football stadium!
The captain for our team is Tommy Jensen, who has been in Estonia exactly for one year working for Strait Air Tallinn. In case you would like to enroll and fight for the right of the Danes, please take in touch with Tommy at toj@tll.straitair.com.
The event is free of charge for everyone to enjoy! |
