[GamChix] GAMCHIX AND ADVISORY BOARD

[Alagie Ceesay]

Dear Beran,

Thank you VERY much for accepting to be a member of the Advisory Board for
Gamchix.

With you and Anna, i am very confident the Chix are in safe hands.

It also feels especially heart warming to know you intended to attend this
meeting that was scheduled to hold on Sunday. Would've been a beautiful
surprise to all of us. Apologies that the meeting has been postponed until
the new dates that Esther mentioned above. We hope to welcome you in
January meeting when Chix will discuss the way forward and activity plans
for 2018.

We will now add you to the mailing list to follow discussions.

To all the Chix, here is the way forward. This will be a powerful community
as you have all the resources and support to row this boat. You can now
kick me out of the list with Kevin and move on as a chix only community :)

We (the GamGents) will always support in the in the background and
hopefully integrate into an active gmNOG together soon.

@Esther kindly share the constitution (word version) with Beran as
requested.

Once again thanks a lot for accepting to support Gamchix.

Alagie

>> Now that both AFCHIX 2017 and the Online training is over, the ladies
