Dear friends,

to announce the upcoming DEMYC Congress that will

take place in Cyprus 15 - 18 April 2010.

is the ultimate DEMYC event, where we all gather to

decide upon the future of DEMYC. I know of no better place for such

deliberations than sunny Cyprus! I want to use this opportunity to

thank NEDISY for their willingness to host the Congress and their

longstanding contribution and belief in DEMYC.

that all good things must come to an end and

with good memories I inform you that I do not plan to stand for

reelection as the DEMYC Chairman. My time with the organisation

has been the best of my life and privileged by making friends with

people from all over Europe, meeting politicians and decision-

makers and of course hard work of spreading DEMYC ideology and

ideas. It is with happiness I welcome new people to the DEMYC helm

but at the same time regret as this time in my life is coming to an end.

that the DEMYC Congress will be a successful one and I

encourage DEMYC activists to run for the DEMYC Bureau.

Best regards and I look forward to seeing you all first in Lebanon and

then in Cyprus.

I'm thrilled
