Its a pleasure to meet you too Brett. Our event planning is coming on fine. I am in contact with Ken Kasina and if need be I will stay in touch with you. Thanks you very much for the support that you have provided through Ken.
I really hope that you guys will get the opportunity to pass by as you do your rounds.

Best regards for now,
Evans Ikua,
Chairman,
