Dear Listers<br>
This is a quick note to thank those of you who attended the cocktail this last Friday to meet with our new CS and the two PSs and present the wishlist attached.<br>
It was a great opportunity and the fact that so many of your wanted to ask questions means we need to continuously talk to our leaders, and agree on how to continue developing the sector for the good of this nation.<br>
We will in due course share the plans for the next steps.<br>
Have a great week.<br>
RgdsGG for the organizing team (Grace B, Liz Orembo, Barrack,Kivuva,Kapiyo, Walu and Ali)<br>
