[Kictanet] Power Up with ICT 2006

[Marcel Werner]

Hi Alice,

Hope you had a nice weekend. I did not see emails by you produced over 
the weekend, that is a good sign!

I cannot tell you how great the meet was we had with the other Powerup 
Committee, with Andrew Limo, Joseph Mucheru, Sam Thuo and Kevit. We 
decided to have the programme running between 20/11 and 02/12 2006. This 
means a mountain of work has to be done right away. Please give me a 
half hour ideally this Tuesday to plan a few things.

Meanwhile, some very interesting stuff going on btw Infocom & CCK.

PS: am impressed by KENIC.

Have a good day. Marcel

PS: Suddenly getting so busy I never imagined. Just as well with now my 
boys back at boarding school & my other half two days travel away! I'd 
be bored to tears therefore so glad with the way things are picking up.
